Normal growth rates for Emerald Green (Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd') are between 6 to 12 per year once established and tapering off as they reach about 12' to 15'. I'd be suprised to see more than about 18 per year even in ideal conditions.
Green Giant arborvitae (Thuja âGreen Giantâ): A hybrid between T. plicata and T. standishii'. May grow up to 4o feet tall; maintains good green color in winter. Hillier giant arborvitae (Thuja plicata âHillieriâ): Spreading form, growing 7 to 10 feet high and wide. The plantâs blue-green foliage turns bronze-brown in winter. Useful as specimen or for hedges, groupings, and screens.
