Hi everyone, could you please identify this plant? it is being advertised as Thuja Occidentalis Smaragd emerald. It doesn't look as bushy as some I've seen so wanted to check before I purchase any, Thanks for any help

Difficult to say Lori. There are so many conifers and many of them look very similar. Growing conditions can affect how they look, but they will tend to look a bit leaner when they're in pots. Once they;re growing in the ground they'll change

Thanks for the reply Fairygirl. 

Yes true, maybe because they're still so young. I thought it looked a little more like the Pyramidalis. I don't want to buy any monsters and regret it when they're huge

Thanks again

Look a bit like golden lawsoniana.

Thanks Ceres. I hope to find out what they are soon. I can't wait to start planting something

Looks right to me. Smaragd is an upright form, 

Stick the name in google image and you'll see.

Thanks Hostafan1. I do love the emerald greens so fingers crossed they are
