If you are looking for some evergreen interest that doesn’t grow too big, the Emerald Squeeze™ Arborvitae may fit the bill perfectly. Botanically named Thuja occidentalis Emerald Squeeze™, this slow-growing conifer is excellent for adding texture and structure, especially during the colder months. Producing a pleasing conical form up to a maximum 8 feet tall over time, the Emerald Squeeze™ Arborvitae is ideally suited to many garden uses.

As a member of the eastern white cedar family, this Thuja is native to North America and suitable for growing in zones 4-8. It requires regular watering until established, after which it requires little maintenance. Commonly used due to its small form, Emerald Squeeze™ Arborvitae is ideal for planting in a uniform row to draw the eye along, or can be planted individually in a mixed border.  

Emerald Squeeze™ Arborvitae Care

The Emerald Squeeze™ Arborvitae is happiest when grown in moist, well-drained soil in full sun. It can tolerate most soil types as long as they are not overly acidic or alkaline. After planting, regular watering for the first couple of years is required to help it establish. Thereafter, watering is usually only necessary during prolonged periods of hot and dry weather. If grown in fertile soil, feeding an Emerald Squeeze™ Arborvitae is not strictly necessary. However, a slow-release, general shrub fertilizer can be applied in early spring if desired. 

As a low-maintenance shrub, Emerald Squeeze™ Arborvitae does not require a lot of pruning. That being said, it can be lightly trimmed in late spring or early fall to tidy it up and keep it looking good. 

Emerald Squeeze™ Arborvitae Spacing

Reaching an eventual 8 feet tall by 4 feet wide, Emerald Squeeze™ Arborvitae remains remarkably compact. If planting a row of them, space them approximately 3.5-4 feet apart, and the shrubs will eventually fill in the gaps.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
