Emerald

Emerald Cedar (Thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’)

Also known as the Smaragd Cedar, the Emerald is one of the most popular cedar varieties thanks to its brilliant emerald-green color, compact size, and perfectly uniform shape. Its vibrant foliage keeps its color year-round, bringing elegance and life to any landscape — even through the coldest winters.

The Emerald grows at a moderate rate, reaching about 10–15 feet in height and 3–4 feet in width, forming a dense, narrow pyramid that’s perfect for decorative borders, accent planting, or smaller privacy screens. Its refined appearance requires very little pruning, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for homeowners and landscapers alike.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, the Emerald cedar is ideal for those seeking a clean, elegant, and enduring evergreen that enhances curb appeal while providing natural beauty and privacy all year long.
