The Thuja Smaragd is botanically known as Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd'. It grows in a columnar shape and can reach a height of up to 5 meters, making it an ideal plant for formal hedges or as a structural element in gardens. Its green needles remain intact throughout the year, as it is evergreen, providing a consistently green appearance in the garden, even during the winter months.
The plant prefers well-drained soil that should be kept moist to offer optimal growth conditions. The Thuja 'Smaragd' can thrive in both sunny and partially shaded locations, making it a flexible choice for various areas of the garden. Additionally, it is frost-resistant, meaning it can easily withstand winter in colder climates.
It is important to note that the Thuja 'Smaragd' is highly toxic, so it should be planted with caution, especially in households with small children or pets.
Its narrow, columnar growth form makes it an excellent choice for hedges that serve as privacy screens or can be placed as decorative structural elements in the garden. The Thuja 'Smaragd' is also a bird-friendly plant, providing shelter for birds and offering a beautiful green view throughout the year.
