Planting & Care
1. Planting: Emerald Green Thujas grow best in full sun, but they can withstand partial shade (afternoon sun is best in this case). And for best results, plant these trees six feet apart to enjoy their pyramid shape or four feet apart for a dense hedge.
When planting Emerald Green Thujas, dig a hole that is just as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. If the top of the root ball is lower than the surrounding soil, remove the tree and fill in part of the hole. Replace the tree and fill in the hole with the same soil you removed. You do not need to add anything to the soil. Mulch around the tree with shredded hardwood mulch. A layer three inches thick, extending three feet, around the tree is ideal.
Water your new tree by counting to 20 while holding the hose near the trunk or give the tree five watering cans full of water.
2. Watering: Water your new tree weekly or twice weekly by holding a hose around it and counting to 20.
After the first month, water just once a week unless it is dry and hot (no rain and temperatures above 80 degrees). If it is hot and dry, water twice a week.
After the first six months, the trees will be established and subsist on rainfall alone.
3. Pruning: The Emerald Green Thuja grows well without pruning. In fact, this is one tree that needs no pruning, other than to remove dead branches. If you do decide to hedge this tree, make sure that when you trim, the bottom of the tree is wider than the top.
4. Fertilizing: Support growth by using an all-purpose evergreen tree and shrub fertilizer starting in the Spring.

Planting Care for the Emerald Green Thuja Tree
Emerald Green Thujas needs lots of full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day), but they can withstand partial shade (afternoon sun is best in this case).
For the first month, water 1-2 times per week, then once a week after that - more frequently if it is dry and hot. After 6 months the root system will establish, and regular rainfall will provide sufficient water.
To support the growth of your Emerald Green Thuja, use an all-purpose evergreen and shrub fertilizer in the spring to support the growth of your tree.
