Pruning: Only prune to shape or remove damaged or diseased branches, and prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Winter Protection: Water well before the ground freezes and consider adding a layer of mulch around the base to protect roots.

When planting Emerald Green Arborvitae, make sure to choose a location with well-drained soil and full to partial sun exposure. For container planting, select a pot with sufficient drainage holes and fill it with high-quality potting mix. Dig a hole that is slightly wider and as deep as the root ball when planting in the ground. Place the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and water well. Mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Ensure that the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the tree's first growing season.

The Emerald Green Arborvitae prefers full sun to partial shade and requires moderate watering, particularly during its first year of growth. It is best to water deeply and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, it can tolerate drought conditions.
