Care Tips ▾

Thrives in full sun but tolerates light shade. Prefers well-drained, moist soils and appreciates consistent watering—especially during establishment or drought. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and reduce root competition. Pruning is rarely necessary, but can be done in early spring to shape or maintain size. Landscape Attributes: Excellent for hedging, windbreaks, and foundation plantings. Its compact footprint and tidy form make it ideal for small urban gardens or framing entryways. Resistant to deer and urban pollution, 'Smaragd' brings evergreen beauty with minimal fuss—just plant and let it shine.
