Place the pots in an area that receives full sun, or under a grow light. The optimal time for planting is in the spring.

Reaching up to 40-60 ft. tall (12-18 m) and 12-18 ft. wide (3.5-5.5 m), "Green Giant" Arborvitae can be kept more compact by pruning. It is perfect for use as a specimen plant or for creating hedges and screens.
