The National Arboretum presents the Green Giant' which is a vigorously growing, pyramidal shaped evergreen with a dark green color that remains outstanding throughout the hardiness range. Green Thuja is perfect for privacy tree needs as it is a hybrid of the thuja plicata tree that graces the northwest. The Thuja tree is ornamentally appealing as a single plant, specimen tree, a dense screen, or as a living frame for your landscape or garden. Plant your tree at your property line for ultimate privacy function. Don't worry about the deer! It is deer resistant. Thuja Green Giant arborvitae is a large, evergreen sentinel in any landscape. Living up to its name, this "giant" tolerates a wide range of soil and growing zones and has very few pests or disease problems on its rich green foliage.

• Like most trees, Thuja green giant trees can be planted in just about any month of the year. However, the best time is in the spring, allowing them a full growing season to establish its roots before its first winter.
• 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. Theyre a great tree to plant around your perimeter to deter deer from some of your other plants that may be more susceptible to being eaten.
• Thuja green giant trees are not invasive in the traditional sense. 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.
• Bushier than our Leyland Cypresses, but still the same Christmas tree like form. You can prune your Thuja tree into a shorter hedge for a single row spaced and keep the height at 12 to 15 feet tall if desired. They can tolerate heavy shearing and we encourage pruning to promote new growth.
