Notice
Many of our plants ship in a naturally dormant state during the winter months. This means some will arrive without leaves or visible growth above the soil line. Dormancy is a normal and healthy part of a plant’s life cycle during colder seasons—it helps protect the root system and prepares the plant for vigorous growth in spring. Rest assured, don’t worry if your plants look bare upon arrival—this is normal for the season, and fresh growth will emerge in spring.

“If you’re tired of seeing your neighbors or the street, Green Giant Arborvitae builds a dense, year‑round privacy wall in just a few years. These hedge kits give you everything you need to plant a living screen along 24–100+ feet of fence line, with fast growth and very little maintenance.”

Height and Width:

Called the Green Giant Arborvitae, this tree can grow up to 60-80 ft. tall and 12-20 ft. wide, perfect for privacy, wind protection, or as a focal point in large gardens. Tone: as a gardeners of all ages..

Appearance:

The Thuja Green Giant is characterized by a symmetrical and pyramidal shape, providing an elegant silhouette to your landscape. Its dense foliage and vertical growth habit make it an excellent choice for creating natural screens or hedges. 

“We ship nursery‑fresh plants, timed for success. In winter, many plants ship dormant (with little or no top growth) to protect the roots and reduce transplant stress. In extreme heat or cold, we may hold your order until conditions are safe. That’s how we ensure your hedge arrives ready to thrive.”

Planting Tips:

When planting Thuja Green Giant,  select a well-drained location with full to partial sunlight. Ensure adequate spacing to accommodate its mature size, and plant in a hole that is as deep as the root ball but two to three times wider.

Watering:

Established Thuja Green Giant trees are generally drought-tolerant, but consistent watering during dry periods is crucial, especially during the first few years after planting. Deep, infrequent watering is preferable to encourage deep root growth.

Mulching:

Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. This is particularly beneficial during the tree's establishment phase.

Pruning:

Minimal pruning is required for Green Giant Arborvitae. However, you may choose to shape the tree or remove any dead or damaged branches as needed. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring.

Fertilizing:

While Thuja Green Giant is adaptable to various soil conditions, applying  SR-18-5-10 slow release fertilizer in spring can promote healthy growth. Be cautious not to over-fertilize, as excessive nitrogen can lead to undesirable rapid growth.
