Green Giant Arborvitae

Why it rocks: Green Giant Arborvitae is an exciting new variety that is capturing people’s attention. This arborvitae is large, vigorous, and fast-growing. It has a pyramidal form and a medium to dark green color which is very resistant to winter frost burn. Green Giant has proven itself as a performer and can be used anywhere in the landscape. Under good growing conditions, this tree can grow up to 3ft a year! Where to put it: Green Giant Arborvitae is a great tree to use as a screen, hedge, windbreak, or as a single specimen. Be aware that unlike many arborvitae trees used for landscape situations the Green Giant gets massive and will reach a height of 50-60’ tall by 12-20’ wide. They are often planted 5-6ft apart for a quick screen, but 10-15’ apart is ideal for regular situations. What it needs: Green Giant Arborvitae is tolerant of most soil conditions but does best in moist, well-drained soils. This tree will tolerate full sun or partial shade and can withstand heavy ice and snow loads. Be sure to follow our watering guidelines for the first few growing seasons until the root system is well-established.
