Thuja emerald pour enough
Dry substrate gets the Thuja emerald as little as a marvelous ground.
Especially in the first years you have to water Thuja emerald regularly, until the roots have developed well.
If possible, water in the morning to prevent fungal diseases. Avoid wetting leaves and stems if possible.

In very dry winters there is a risk that the tree of life will dry up. In strong winter sun, the thuja evaporates much moisture over the needles. Therefore you have to water the hedge every now and then in winter on frost-free days.
