• The Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae growth rate is extremely fast! It can grow 3 to 5 feet per year once established, and it can quickly reach a height up to 40 feet tall and 20 feet wide at maturity. As young plants, they grow even faster during the spring and summer growing seasons.
• Thuja green giant trees are deer resistant.
• However, since the tree can grow to be over 40 feet high, the roots will spread wide and deep to support the trees size and weight. Make sure your Thuja green giants have ample space to grow.
• The thujas hardiness zones are best in the department of agriculture plant hardiness zones 5-9 across the United States. This landscaping tree performs best in moist, fertile, well-drained soil conditions in full sun to partial shade. Ideal conditions for the giant Thuja tree are at least 4-6 hours of sun per day. This large tree cannot handle wet sites or poorly drained soil types like heavy clay because of the possibility of root rot. Slow-release fertilizers at the base of the root ball will help give this tree the boost it needs in early spring. The emerald green needles may darken or bronze slightly in winter. If the leaves turn brown you may have a different issue such as lack of watering. Newly planted trees need lots of water and a thick layer of mulch to help retain moisture and protect the roots. Water your trees a few times a week, especially during the summer months when temperatures are hotter. The root system will establish after 1 year if watered thoroughly. After 1 year of fast growth, it is fairly drought tolerant. The best time to plant Thuja Green Giant shrubs is in early spring so the trees have the whole growing season to establish before the ice and snow of winter come. Dig a hole the size of the root ball and dont plant too close! Thuja Green Giant hedges will establish quickly and provide the privacy you need.
