Cheap Hedging Conifers! Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd' - circa 60-80cm Specimen or Hedging Conifers

Prized for its emerald green colour, award-winning Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd' has a compact, narrow, upright habit with erect sprays of glossy, bright green foliage and can reach 4-5 metres (12-14ft) tall if left un-clipped. This is an attractive, evergreen conifer that has a compact growth habit that makes it ideal for hedging purposes. With fresh emerald-green foliage that responds well to clipping, the dense growth makes it perfect for helping to reduce noise, particularly as it quickly forms a closed hedge when planted 60cm apart.

Growing 30-60cm per year, it is much more manageable than the better-known leylandii with this tamer rate of growth and eventual height of around 5 metres if left unclipped. If used as a solitary specimen, it will form a narrow pyramidal tree, not much wider than 2.5m.

Supplied in approx. 2-3 litre containers, at around 60-80cm tall.
