Emerald Cedar - 1 Gallon

Emerald Cedar (Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd') is a narrow, upright evergreen conifer that holds its rich green colour throughout the year, including winter. It typically reaches 3 to 4 metres tall and about 1 metre wide at maturity, making it well suited for hedges, screens, and tight spaces. It is widely grown across Ontario and performs reliably in most landscape conditions.

Growing Requirements

Care Instructions

• Planting: Plant in well-drained soil with adequate spacing of at least 60 to 90 cm apart for hedging, or as directed by intended use.
• Pruning: Prune lightly in late spring or early summer to maintain shape and control size before new growth hardens.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced slow-release granular fertilizer formulated for conifers in early spring before new growth begins.
• Winter: Hardy to zone 3, but burlap wrapping is recommended in exposed or windy sites to prevent winter burn on foliage.
