Thuja Smargd 3lt

Thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’ is a slow-growing, narrowly conical evergreen conifer prized for its dense, bright green, scale-like foliage and naturally neat outline, ideal for formal screens or clipped hedges. It performs best in full sun or light shade and moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil, and it holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit for reliability. Ultimately, plants can reach about 48m in height with a spread of roughly 1.52.5m.

Feeding time: Spring Trimming time: Late spring to early summer (MayJune); a light touch-up in late summer (August) if needed

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
