Spacing examples for Emerald Green Arborvitae Privacy Trees. I’ve included some photos to show the difference in spacing as the hedge grows. ‘Emerald Green’ Arborvitae have a slow to moderate growth rate (about 6-12″/year). In the first few years after planting, my trees grew at 6″ per year. Once they got established (about 3-4 years after planting), they began growing at a faster rate (about 12″). I would recommend spacing Emerald Greens between 36″ and 48″ from trunk to trunk.
