Small, narrow pyramidal growing conifer with a very dense crown. The height is 4 to 6 m and the width approx. 1.5 m. The bark is reddish brown and peeling off in long strips. The flattened, highly branched young twigs are green first, later turning orange-brown. The twigs are arranged more vertically than on other cultivars. The scaly foliage is arranged in shingle form. It is lustrous bright green and keeps this colour in winter too. When crushed the foliage gives off a characteristically pleasant fragrance. The blossom and the oval cones which follow are inconspicuous. Pruning is exceptionally well tolerated which has contributed to the popularity of ‘Smaragd’ as hedge plant for small gardens. The lustrous bright green foliage that does not change colour in winter adds important value. Grows on any soil and is very hardy.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
