Emerald Towers at our River Growing Fields in Spring (left) and Winter (center); Winter color and cones (right)
Discontinued
We are selling off our stock of these trees at deeply discounted prices
Details below:
For many years we have been searching for a privacy tree we could grow that is tall and narrow like the Emerald Green Arborvitae but faster-growing and taller at maturity. Some would call this the "Holy Grail" of privacy trees. This search led to experiments with various trees and some years ago we purchased and planted seedlings of this tree. The commercial seedling grower told us these trees would grow to over 20' tall and be 2' wide--perfect. Unfortunately, several years later it is clear that these are not that tree. Perhaps there was a mistake in the seedlings or maybe this tree just grows differently in the Northwest climate. Whatever the reason these trees are much wider than 2'. Also, these trees have a lot of brown cones, and in the wintertime they develop a dark coloring that some Customers feel is an "unhealthy" look.
All that said, these are actually very healthy, fast-growing trees, but because of how wide they get they are almost identical in size and shape to the Green Giant Arborvitae which we have grown for many years. We don't need two trees the same size so we are going to stop growing these Emerald Towers and will sell-off the trees we have at deeply discounted prices--see below. The "bottom line" is that if you are looking for an inexpensive, fast-growing privacy screen and don't mind that winter coloring and cones, this could be a good choice for you.
Foliage: Evergreen
Mature Height: 25-30’
Mature Width: Approximately 8'
Sunlight: Full sun; partial sun
Soil: Likes well-drained soil.
Growth Rate: Fast—up to 3’ a year.
"Instant Privacy" Use: Often used when an Arborvitae is too small but there is a limited amount of space available for privacy trees' width.
"Instant Privacy" Spacing: These trees can be spaced on 3, 4, or 5' centers (meaning the trunks of each tree are 3', 4', or 5' apart) or wider.
What to Expect the First Year: As with all newly-planted trees, these need to be watered carefully
through the first Spring/Summer.
Comments: We are still learning about these trees and have not seen a full-grown one. Mature height and width are estimated. We have noticed that in the fall/winter their coloring changes to a dark, dark brown, sometimes dark green, and they also produce noticeable quantities of brown cones. There also can be variation in the foliage appearance from tree-to-tree.

Location: We’re conveniently located just 15 minutes north of Woodinville. Here's a link to our "Directions" page. Please also read the next section.
Farm Visits: We are a working farm not a retail nursery so we don't keep regular retail hours; instead we set up appointments so that we can focus on your project. This is particularly important during our busy seasons. Here's a link to more information about why "appointment only" is the best approach. So please set-up an appointment instead of "just coming out". Thank you. (425) 343-2650; info@nurserytrees.com.
Covid-19 Precautions: Covid-19 caused us to make some changes in the way we do things. For a detailed break-down of these steps please see our "Covid-19 Precautions" webpage. These can change with the "ebb and flow" of the Covid virus and we respect any steps a person wants to take to protect themselves.
Payment: We don’t require any money “up front”—you only pay when the job is completed (unusual exceptions to this are large/special projects or lengthy “holds” on trees). Be careful of contractors asking for “up front” money; they might not come back!
Warranty & Support: When we plant your trees we include staking (if necessary), transplanting fertilizer, and an easy-to-use watering system that hooks into your garden hose. More information. We also give a one year Warranty on trees we plant, for no additional charge.

Customer Satisfaction: Most important of all is what our customers think of us:
"I am really pleased with your work. You saved me several thousand dollars, steered me away from trees that wouldn't work, provided healthy and beautiful trees, did a great job planting them, and did everything on time and on schedule. You can quote me." Jo, Vashon Island
"Our privacy bank of trees has done nothing but grow well into maturity. Our back yard and deck area is totally private and the 10 trees your team planted [in 2005] are rich, leathery and dark green. We remark on them every day it seems. Please include me in any of your "Testimonials" as you would be hard pressed to find a more satisfied customer." Jim, Port Orchard
"For quality vs. value, your trees are the best landscape purchase I’ve ever made." Jeff, Seattle
"Michael, I just wanted to pass along a note to tell you how thrilled I am with the trees. The effect they have brought to our new courtyard in the front of our home here in Seattle has exceeded my expectations!" Chip Hanauer, Hydroplane Driver--Click Here to see his project.
"I work in customer service so I know good service when I experience it and you have my top rating. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who needs new landscaping. Thanks again.” Carol, Camano Island
"The [new] trees were a great privacy feature when we sold the last house! We now have a much larger space we want to talk with you about . . " Katherine, Fall City
“My compliments to your crew. We’ve had a lot of contractors working on our house recently and we’ve seen the entire range; and your guys were excellent. The trees make things look so much better—I started smiling as soon as I saw them going in." Holly, Queen Anne
"You guys are the best nursery I've ever done business with! And I have dealt with a few. You did what you said you would, on time with attention to detail rarely found. From the beginning of the quote process all the way through to the last detail you made it easy. And you work to ensure that the trees will thrive after planting with detailed advice, a complementary irrigation system, and a website filled with useful information. Most nurseries will just dump off the goods and tell you best of luck, put some water on them. You provide a quality product that sets you apart. Your crew was friendly, polite and operated as a well organized team. I would recommend you without hesitation! Thanks for doing a great job!” Ryan, Buckley
"We can not believe how beautiful your trees are. The privacy is unbelievable. If you ever need a testimonial let us know. Our yard is perfect! We sit there and say "my oh my”! Suzanne, Tacoma
"I don't think I've ever been as happy with something I've purchased." Sarah, Sammamish
