Thuja standishii × plicata 'Green Giant'

When a garden needs a substantial living wall, Green Giant Arborvitae offers the scale that smaller evergreens cannot. This vigorous conifer develops a broad, dense evergreen outline suited to long property lines, windbreaks, and spacious backyards.

Why Gardeners Love Green Giant Arborvitae

- Large-scale privacy: A mature row can block distant views and create a sense of enclosure.

- Vigorous growth: In favorable conditions, new growth can be rapid once roots are established.

- Evergreen density: Foliage provides structure and screening across the seasons.

- Windbreak potential: Its height and branching make it useful in large protective plantings.

- Natural pyramidal form: The tree looks attractive as a specimen without constant shaping.

Where to Plant Green Giant Arborvitae

Reserve ample space: the store lists about 40 feet tall and 14 feet wide at maturity. Plant in full sun with good drainage, away from narrow foundations, overhead wires, and confined beds. Screening rows need enough space for air movement and long-term root growth.

Growing and Care Tips

Provide deep watering through establishment, especially during hot, dry periods. Mulch to conserve moisture. Selective trimming is possible, but do not expect a mature Green Giant to remain a tiny hedge without intensive upkeep.
