Thuja Smaragd is a medium-fast growing Thuja variety. If you want to grow an opaque, high hedge very quickly, you should switch to a faster-growing variety. The growth of the Thuja Smaragd can only be accelerated slightly.

Some fertilizer can stimulate the growth of Thuja Smaragd

How to accelerate the growth of Thuja Smaragd

Already when planting you can do something for a good growth of the Thuja Smaragd. Amend the soil with compost, horn shavings (€32.93) or dumped manure. Then the tree of life has sufficient nutrients available to grow quickly.

Check the substrate for sufficient magnesium. Loosen the soil deeply, because the tree of life does not grow when it is waterlogged, but dies.

Lime very acidic soil before planting to increase the pH value. Otherwise there is a risk of a lack of manganese.

Fertilize the tree of life once a year

The growth of the Thuja Smaragd can also be accelerated by providing the tree of life with sufficient nutrients in the following years.

Fertilize in spring with a slow-release fertilizer for conifers. When using short-term fertilizers, a second fertilization in late summer is appropriate. Organic fertilizers such as compost, horn shavings and manure can also be given more often.

Be sure to avoid over-fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. These attack the leaves, roots and stems and discolour the needles.

How high is the growth of Thuja Smaragd?

In good conditions, Thuja Smaragd grows by 20 cm per year. She primarily strives upwards. The tree of life remains rather narrow on the sides.

tips

Thuja Smaragd grows particularly slowly in an unfavorable location. This is the case when the pitch is too shady or the ground conditions are not optimal.
