Thuja Smargd 140

Elegant, upright, and beautifully refined, Thuja Occidentalis ‘Smaragd’ (Emerald Green Aborvitae) is one of the most popular screening conifers for a reason. Its naturally narrow, columnar shape creates a clean, structured look without the need for constant trimming, while its rich emerald-green foliage holds its colour all year round—no bronzing off in winter like some other varieties.

Soft to the touch yet densely packed, the foliage forms a lush, living wall that’s perfect for privacy screening, formal hedging, or lining driveways and boundaries. Whether used as a single feature or planted in a row, it instantly adds height, symmetry, and a polished finish to any garden.

Reliable and hardy, it thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it’s relatively low maintenance and moderately drought tolerant, making it a practical choice for both modern and traditional landscapes.

Tip: For a tight, seamless hedge, plant approximately 60–80cm apart. Water well during establishment and mulch to keep roots cool—this will give you faster growth and a thicker, more uniform screen.
