Can the growth of a Thuja emerald be accelerated?
Thuja emerald is a mid-waking thuja variety. If you want to pull a high-visibility, high hedge very quickly, you should switch to a faster-awake variety. The growth of the Thuja emerald can only be accelerated slightly.
To speed up the growth of Thuja emerald
Even when planting, you can do something for a good growth of the Thuja emerald. Improve the soil with compost, horn shavings or deposited manure. Then the tree of life has enough nutrients to grow quickly.
Check the substrate for sufficient magnesium. Loosen up the soil profoundly, since the tree of life does not grow with waterlogging, but enters.
Very acidic soils should be limescale before planting to increase the pH. Otherwise, a shortage of manganese threatens.
Fertilize tree of life once a year
The growth of the Thuja emerald can also be accelerated by providing enough nutrients to the tree of life in the following years.
Fertilize in the spring with a slow-release fertilizer for conifers. When using short-term fertilizers, a second fertilization is appropriate in late summer. Organic fertilizers such as compost, horn shavings and manure can also be given more often.
Avoid over-fertilization with mineral fertilizers. These attack the leaves, roots and stems and cause a discoloration of the needles.
What is the growth of the Thuja emerald?
Under good conditions the Thuja emerald grows by 20 cm per year. At the same time, she strives to go up in the air. On the sides of the tree of life remains rather narrow.
Tips
In an unfavorable location Thuja emerald grows very slowly. This is the case if the place is too shady or the ground conditions are not optimal.
