Comprehensive Guide To Caring For A Green Emerald Arborvitae

When it comes to landscaping, the green emerald arborvitae tree is one of the most popular choices. It's beautiful, fast-growing, and can provide a great natural privacy barrier or windbreak. But in order for it to stay healthy and look its best, regular maintenance is necessary. In this blog post, we'll go over everything you need to know about caring for your green emerald arborvitae tree. 

Location 

The first step in taking care of your green emerald arborvitae is deciding where to plant it. The tree prefers full sun but will also tolerate partial shade. If you're planting multiple trees, make sure they have enough space between them—at least 6 feet—to ensure that each tree has plenty of room to grow. 

Watering 

Next up is watering your emerald green arborvitae. While the tree does not require daily watering, it does need a consistent supply of water during the growing season (May through August). During these months, you should water your tree deeply at least once per week if there is no rain. If there is rainfall, however, you may only need to water once every two weeks as long as there are no extended dry spells. As with all plants, make sure not to overwater as this can lead to root rot and other problems. 



Fertilizer and Pruning 

Your green emerald arborvitae should be fertilized twice a year with an all-purpose fertilizer that contains nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (NPK). Make sure not to overfertilize as this could burn the roots of your tree and cause other damage. In terms of pruning your tree, only do so if it is necessary due to disease or pest infestation; otherwise it's best left alone since excessive pruning can weaken its structure and ruin its shapely form.  



Conclusion

Taking care of a green emerald arborvitae requires consistency and vigilance but the rewards are well worth it! With proper care and maintenance this beautiful evergreen will remain vibrant for years to come. Just remember the basics — location matters; don't overwater or overfertilize; and only prune when absolutely necessary — follow these guidelines and you'll have a stunning landscape centerpiece in no time!
