How To Accelerate The Growth Of Thuja Emerald
Thuja emerald's growth can be accelerated a bit by fertilizing it at the right time. You can use slow release fertilizers for this in the spring.
It is even better to supply the tree of life with organic fertilizer materials such as compost, manure and horn shavings (€ 6.39 on Amazon *) while planting. Give this fertilizer later in spring and late summer.
A mulch cover also has a beneficial effect on the growth of the Thuja Smaragd. Suitable materials are:
- leaves
- Lawn clippings
- Bark mulch
Thuja emerald does not need to be severely cut
Due to the medium-fast growth, you do not have to cut a thuja emerald too often or too strongly. In terms of width, it is usually sufficient to shorten protruding side shoots.
Tips
Thuja Smaragd doesn't particularly like it when it is too dense in the hedge, for example. This will delay growth. In the worst case, the tree of life turns brown and dies.
