| As you can see from the picture, the name "Emerald Green" is befitting this Arborvitae selection.. Much like 'Pyramidalis', the 'Smaragd' has a narrow, pyramidal habit. But the Smaragd also has a bit more of a pointed tip to it, and tends to stay smaller in height and breadth than 'Pyramidalis'. This would be a good selection for a landscape that could benefit from the color and texture of an Arborvitae but does not have the room for a large plant footprint. The narrow, vertical habit would also work well when a formal entryway is desired, with Smaragd's on either side of the entry. |
