- In this video I show you how To plant Emerald Green Arborvitae trees. I added these to my landscape to add some height and color next to our garage wall. These trees grow about 12’ tall and about 4’ wide. These also make a great privacy screen if planted close together.

Watched plenty of videos about how to plant cedars, what everyone misses to tell you is that during2 years dont count on rain to water your cedars, you have to water them thoroughly. Piece of advice from someone who almost lost 25 emraulde cedars buy a soaker hose and water them once in 2 days or everyday if soil is not great for 1st yea.
Oh yes you have to water regularly until established. Glad your cedars made it 🤙
Solid planting suggestions but my observation says you were planting these much too close to the house they get 12 to 15 feet high and they need to be away from the house by at least 2 feet
Thanks for watching and for the tips
It’s clear you know what you’re doing on YT with your editing and teaching.
Great/succinct video. Appreciate it!
Thanks for watching!
Tú pu should soak them in the original container before you take them out. That’s what’s recommended but maybe it doesn’t make a big difference. I have 8 arborvitae’s like yours and 7 of another variety and they are all doing well. Keep an eye out for mites and bag worms.
@@Randy58-zn4ez yes unfortunately I lost one of these to bag worms. Soaking before is a great tip. I’ll do that in the future!
Nice Arbs...they look good there!
Thanks!
Some great tips in video. Very helpful
Thank you Travis! I’m still mourning the Rose Bowl loss this past year January. 😂
@@HomegrownHowTo Respect for Utah program. Big time Whittingham fan. Loved what you guys did to Caleb Williams in Pac-12 championship.
How are your arborvitaes? I planted 8 in March. So far, so good 🤞.
Water water water!
@@audijo6562 nice! I had one die off. I found out after it was too late that it got bag worms. 🤦🏻♂️
Hi, great video; so helpful. Once planted, how frequently should they be watered?
Probably about 2-3 times per week for the first couple of months then they only need about 1 inch per week once established
Question. Is there any damage to the foundation by roots of the trees. because trees are too close to the house?
No the roots of this tree are very fibrous and small. They won’t even lift concrete sidewalks.
Looks great!!!
Thank you! They turned out better than I imagined it would.
@@HomegrownHowTo that’s always the best when a project does that
Can I plant these during the summer? I live in Tennessee for frame of reference. Gets hot here.
You can… but for better chance of survival I’d wait until fall.
@@HomegrownHowTo you rock. Thank you!
I didn't fully remove the burlap bag. I only loosened up the roots some. Should I dig my tree back up?
No you should be okay. The burlap should breakdown just fine.
I had several planted by a professional company and 1/2 of them are dead and I have no clue why. Clearly it's not lack of water because some survived. Maybe its too hot IDK
These trees can be prone to pests. Bag worms can destroy these quick.
@@HomegrownHowTooh wow thanks for the information
Just got a bunch of these for $33 each at a local farm! When planting for privacy, how far apart should they be planted? And how far back from the sidewalk? Thanks!
What a deal! These actually do great with concrete. The roots are pretty thin and fiberous and should not crack the concrete. You can plant about 4-6 apart for a nice privacy screen.
I want to relocate ones that are 12’ high Same methods used as planting?
Same planting method. Dig deep and wide to keep from damaging the roots. Good luck!
What kind of soil would you suggest to use?
I have two of these in front of my house…the backs are brown and yucky, but the fronts are huge and lush! Help? What do I do?
Could be caused by a number of things. If the area of the house gets direct sun in the heat of day they could be getting too hot in those areas causing some die back as the heat radiating from the house. You can try pruning the dead material and give it a heavy watering during the heat of day a few times a week. Then in the spring fertilize them to promote some new growth. Could also be a bug problem, so examine for that and treat accordingly if you find bag worms or caterpillars, Beatles, etc.
Could also potentially be a fungus or root issue. But with it being the backside of them both my bet is they are getting to much direct heat and not enough water. Good luck!
@@HomegrownHowTo morning sun..afternoon shade.. I heavy water every other day.. could being in front of a wall be the problem also? So weird to be so lush in the front of the trees! Thank you for getting back to me so quick! Makes my heart hurt seeing the backs of my beautiful tress…
@@laughoutloud2334 Interesting- the heat from the house still may be taking up some of the moisture. Definitely inspect for pests- bagworms feast on these trees.
Here is good article on how to identify common arborvitae diseases
gardenologist.org/identify-deal-with-arborvitae-fungal-diseases/
I truest hope this info helps you out and you get to the bottom of your trees issues.
Are the trees planted far enough from the house and eves?
Are they not planted too close to the foundation?
@@paulallen9191 these trees will not cause foundational issues. Root system is small and fibrous. Won’t even crack sidewalks
I just planted some as well on the corners of our house. I'm kinda scared of their full height though. And they're a bit close to the lines. 😅
Nice! I really love these. I want to plant more in backyard. If they are the Emerald Green variety they only get about 10-15’ tall. But there are other arborvitae varieties that get really tall. I bet yours look awesome!
@@HomegrownHowToI think 15-20’. I put an emerald green in 2007 and now it’s 15+.
They are the BEST fencing if you have the time to wait, place them densely, and have no deer to worry about. In my case due to these considerations, I went with green Giants when I was building my fence, but mature greens make for an awesome year round privacy screen.
Do i have to plant them with mulch, or can i just plant them in regular dirt from the yard, thanks
Mulch will help the tree retain moisture more efficiently. But if you just do dirt be sure to make sure the soil stays moist.
Thanks man
@@allmotorcoupe2653 No problem, thank you!
@@KH-3414 yeah slightly- just don’t pile it very high at the trunk.
@@KH-3414 thank you for watching!
These were for sale at Costco yesterday for $32 ea
What a deal. I need to check Costco
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
How much distance should I have between 5ft arborvitae’s when planting?
Probably no closer than about 4'. Which is about what I did here.
Can i grow this on cold weather?
You can. Planting during spring or fall is the ideal time to plant.
How far apart from each other?
I did about 5’ apart.
What's that silver ish bush right beside?
It’s a blue star juniper tree. I love it!
hello may i know where you bought the trees?
Walmart of all places 😂
@@HomegrownHowTo i thought that was funny
@@hammerridecycling7630 Right?! they can have some good deals on stuff. I also snagged a few decent sized Forsythias from them last year for about $8 a pop.
How much you got it for if you don’t mind me asking ?
They were $40 per tree. Typically about $60-80 for that size in the area I live.
@@HomegrownHowTo thank you! I’m about to buy couple trees at $180 a piece here in Michigan. They are 7ft tall. How tall were yours ?
@@zd4076 mine were about 4 ft tall is all.
@@HomegrownHowTo I agree, I just paid 59.00 dollars for mine at Home Depot today.
Mine are about 6ft tall.
Too close to the foundation. Never understood why people do this.
Thanks for your concern, but arborvitae roots, especially emerald greens (smaller tree’s) are not big enough nor strong enough to even lift pavement or concrete. Therefore should be just fine to plant near a foundation that was poured in 2018. Take care Lis!
Are the roots strong enough to affect the main sewer lines and plumbing??
They don't realize the growth is not just up but the girth is huge
Ruined those arbors that close to the house dude
typical suburbia for you
They are planted too close to a building
Thanks for your concern, but arborvitae roots, especially emerald greens (smaller tree’s) are not big enough nor strong enough to even lift pavement or concrete. The roots are very small and porous making them great trees to plant near foundations.
@@HomegrownHowTo I was referring to the optimal place to plant them, as they need no light obstruction to grow best. Thank you for explaining about the roots .
@@ramonamellor gotcha, I see what your saying. Thanks!
Absolutely zero help on how to plant these trees! What type of soil? How deep do you plant them, how about a actual measurement? How much water? When do you fertilize? What type of fertilizer? Thx for the info on the hose!🤗
Also, you must not have listened to the video. I tell you how deep and wide to dig. I tell you to deep deep soak after planting. Good question about fert. Don’t do it until about 1-2 years post transplant.
