Thuja occidentalis 'Emerald Petite'
Choose Emerald Petite® Arborvitae when you want the Emerald Green look in a much tighter space; the tradeoff is patience and limited screening, because it grows slowly and stays more ornamental than privacy-focused.
Buy This If
- You want a narrow evergreen accent.
- You like shape without much pruning.
- Your planting bed is tight.
Skip This If
- You need privacy soon.
- Deer browse is constant and unmanaged.
- You want a broad, full hedge.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives a clean vertical accent, but it is too small to carry a large landscape by itself. |
| Growth Rate | C | Slow growth keeps it tidy, but it will not satisfy anyone wanting quick results. |
| Maintenance | A- | It usually needs little pruning beyond correcting stray tips and keeping it watered while establishing. |
| Deer Resistance | D | As an Emerald Green type arborvitae, it is vulnerable where deer feed heavily unless protected. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its tight upright habit is the main reason to buy it for narrow beds, entries, and containers. |
| Screening Value | C- | It can make a low, tidy screen, but it is not the plant for fast or tall privacy. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Emerald Petite® Arborvitae as an accent first and a screen second. Keep the root zone evenly watered while it settles in, and protect it if deer regularly feed near the house.

Customers Usually Ask
Can I use it instead of Emerald Green?
Yes for small accents or a short row; choose Emerald Green Arborvitae for taller privacy.
Does it need shearing?
No regular shearing is needed; just trim stray growth if you want a tighter outline.
Will deer eat it?
They can, especially in winter, so use protection where deer pressure is high.
Why Choose Shrubs for a Stronger Landscape?
- Structure & Definition: Shrubs frame homes, define walkways, and create organized planting beds.
- Privacy & Screening: Many varieties grow dense and full, making them ideal for natural hedges and property boundaries.
- Seasonal Color & Texture: From evergreen foliage to flowering varieties, shrubs provide visual interest in every season.
