Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae
Green Giant Arborvitae (Thuja standishii x plicata ‘Green Giant’) is a fast-growing, evergreen conifer prized for its towering height, lush green foliage, and natural pyramidal shape. Growing up to 3 feet per year, this hardy hybrid can reach heights of 40 to 60 feet with a spread of 12 to 18 feet at maturity, making it an ideal choice for creating quick, dense privacy screens and windbreaks. Its rich, scale-like foliage maintains a vibrant green color year-round, providing four-season interest and reliable coverage in both residential and commercial landscapes. Highly adaptable and low-maintenance, Green Giant Arborvitae thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil types, including clay and sandy soils, as long as drainage is adequate. It is resistant to common arborvitae pests and diseases, and it handles drought, humidity, and cold weather with ease once established. Unlike other privacy trees, it doesn’t require frequent pruning, though it can be trimmed
