Description

Thuja are evergreen conifer trees with a narrow, conical habit, and Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd' is a beautiful example of this highly decorative tree.

A slow-growing, ornamental shrub with erect sprays of bright green, aromatic foliage, the Emerald Thuja is a colourful way to add height and structure to your beds and borders.

Perfectly happy as a container plant, anyone can grow this garden gem, whether you have a large garden or a compact terrace or balcony.

Easy to grow, 'Smaragd' (or the White Cedar as it is sometimes referred to) is a great plant for both new and experienced gardeners as it requires little to no maintenance - its growth is naturally narrow, so it doesn't need regular pruning to keep its shape.

Hardy down to -45°C, thuja is also extremely tolerant of the cold, just needing protection from drying winter wind especially while it is young.

The perfect plant for flower beds and borders, Thuja Smaragd excels in City & Courtyard gardens as well as Cottage & Informal gardens, Gravel and Rock gardens as well as on the Patio in a container.

Supplied as 10 established plants in 9cm pots, ready for immediate planting. Grows to around 2.5m x 2.5m.

Top Tips
If planting as a hedge, space plants 60cm apart.
Care Information

Aftercare Advice for Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd':

  • Newly planted conifers need regular watering to prevent browning - once established they are drought proof.
  • Remove weeds as soon as they appear and mulch well to reduce water loss.

Planting advice for your Thuja 'Smaragd':

  • Water your potted plant well.
  • Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
  • Add a soil conditioner such as well-rotted manure to the earth removed from the hole if necessary.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
  • Sprinkle on some Root grow to help establish a sound root system.
  • Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot.
  • Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball.
  • Water well and mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.

 

Pruning advice for your Thuja:

  • No pruning is required although you can clip to retain its height from spring to late summer, just avoid cutting into old wood.
  • If your plant gets too tall for where you have planted it, clip the top to keep it at the required height.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
