5. Emerald Green Arborvitae Care

6. Light Emerald green arborvitae should be grown in full sun or partial shade. They generally need at least six hours of sun daily, but too much direct sunlight can stress the plant and burn the foliage. However, they should not be planted in full shade either, since this can greatly reduce the density of the foliage. Soil Plant arborvitae in moist but well-drained soil that boasts a neutral to alkaline pH level. These shrubs do not like to have their roots in soggy soil, so apply a heavy layer of compost or mulch over the root zone each year to preserve soil moisture.

7. Water Arborvitae will need watering twice weekly for the first few months after planting, then weekly watering (about one inch) for the next year or so. Once established, make sure it gets about a half-inch of water weekly, either through rainfall or irrigation. Too little water will cause the foliage to turn yellow or brown, while excessive water may cause needle discoloration and root rot. Temperature and Humidity Emerald green arborvitae does better in cooler, dryer climates. In very humid conditions, fungal diseases can be a problem. To help prevent this, plant your trees at least 3 to 4 feet apart from one another in order to improve air circulation. Avoid exposed, windy locations, especially in colder climates.
