‘Emerald Green’ is a semi-dwarf cultivar that has a narrow pyramidal shape. The foliage consists of flat sprays of glossy bright green. The tree has urn-shaped cones about 1/2 inch long that turn reddish-brown in fall. Most specimens are 7 to 15 feet in height, occasionally reaching 20 feet. It makes a great privacy border. It can also make a good foundation plant and is sometimes planted singly as a landscape specimen plant. Occasionally, this plant is pruned to form spiral topiaries. Plant in moist loam in full sun to part shade.
