Arborvitae Tree (2.5 Gallon) - Fast Growing Evergreen for Full Sun

Thuja Green Giant: A Fast-Growing Evergreen for Privacy

Looking for a robust windbreak or a natural screen? The Thuja Green Giant fits the bill perfectly. Boasting an exceptional growth rate, resilience to harsh weather, and dense evergreen foliage, this tree is hard to surpass. At maturity, expect heights ranging from 20 to 40 feet with a diameter spanning 6 to 12 feet.

Dense Foliage for Effective Privacy

Its thick foliage provides excellent light, sound, and wind barrier, unlike conventional fences. The only consideration is its mature height. Due to its upright growth habit, it remains the top choice for privacy plantings.

Pruning Tips for Optimal Growth

When to prune depends on your objectives. Whether it's size reduction, maintaining a perfect pyramidal shape, or clearing undergrowth, mid-summer pruning is ideal. This timing allows the plant to develop new shoots before winter, though excessive cutting can lead to bare spots. Scroll down for detailed guidelines!

USDA Hardiness Zones and Growing Conditions

The Thuja Green Giant thrives in USDA zones 5a to 8b, flourishing in full sun and tolerating partial shade. In hot summer climates, light afternoon shade helps prevent sun damage. Upon arrival, ensure thorough watering twice weekly during the first growing season to establish healthy roots.
