Smaragd | Thuja occidentalis
Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd', White cedar 'smaragd' or Thuja emerald is an evergreen conifer making a slow-growing conical shrub with erect sprays of bright green foliage.
Vibrant year-round needles (leaves) and a neat, slightly pyramidal upright form make 'Smaragd' a great choice for many situations. Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd' can be planted as a single specimen for a stand alone feature or in small quantities to express a border and create structure.
It can also be used for hedging, although it takes a few years to knit together into a consistent screen.
