Green Giant Arborvitae

The green giant thuja is a hybrid discovered in Denmark--it is a powerhouse performer, growing vigorously to towering heights. There's no need to prune this evergreen, you can simply let it grow its full 30-40' for a windbreak. The green giant arborvitae does respond well to pruning, however, if you'd prefer something a little more uniform for hedging. The biggest benefit, other than its brilliant size, is that the lush, abundant foliage puts the 'green' in evergreen--it won't turn yellow or bronze in winter. This green giant arborvitae hedge variety is not very picky about soil, but it prefers well-drained if you have it. It's also extremely resilient to hotter humid temperatures, as well as frost and snow. Order your green giant thuja hedges, so you can have a beautiful, towering hedge that acts both as shade, a sound barrier, and privacy. Thuja plicata 'Green Giant' (syn T. 'Gigantioides')
