HOW MUCH WATER DO MY PLANTS NEED?
Newly planted seedlings must have plenty of water. Make sure the soil is moist (not wet) right down to the roots at all times. It is very important and this applies throughout the first and second year. Water until there is frost in the ground, then you take a break over the winter and start watering again when the frost in the ground loosens.

HOW BIG Ditch IS REQUIRED FOR MY THUJA HEDGE?
Depth and width of the trench depends on the pot/clump size. We recommend that you dig 1.5 to 2 x as wide and deep as the diameter of the pot/clump, then the plants get enough loosened soil so that the roots can take root properly. The size of the pot/root ball is indicated in the price configurator under the photo of the thujan.

SHOULD I PRUNE WHEN PLANTING?
You can prune it if you want to smooth it out. With that, it is better to wait until the plant has had time to take root.

SHOULD I FERTILIZE WHEN PLANTING?
No, wait to fertilize your plants until next spring.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE PLANT?
The length refers to the plant itself, the root ball is not included.

HOW MANY THUJA SMARAGD DOES ONE PLAN PER METRE?
The number of thuja per meter depends on how dense you want the hedge to be from the start and what size you buy. Plants that are 1 meter high, you can plant 3 thuja Smaragd per meter. If you buy plants that are 2 meters high, 2 plants per meter is enough.

Thuja Smaragd is compact, wind-resistant, robust and easy to care for with shiny green needles that keep their color well during winter and create an exclusive feeling on your hedge or privacy screen. Thuja Smaragd is a conifer in the cypress family. It does not grow wild in Sweden but is very common in parks and gardens. Thuja is sometimes called the "tree of life". Thuja Smaragd can be used both as a solitary plant or as a hedge because it grows very compactly without having to be cut.

The trunk runs straight and vertical from the ground to the top. The bark is light green at first and becomes reddish brown when it is a little older. When it is even older, it splits open in long narrow furrows between shedding strips. The buds are not visible and the foliage consists of flat shoot systems with broad scaly needles. Thuja Smaragd grows in a conical shape and is suitable both as a hedge plant or as a single ornamental tree.
