Green Giant Arborvitae

The Green Giant Arborvitae (Thuja standishii x plicata 'Green Giant') is a fast-growing, evergreen conifer prized for its lush, dense foliage and natural pyramidal shape. Reaching heights of 30 to 50 feet at maturity, with a spread of 12 to 20 feet, it is an ideal choice for creating privacy screens, windbreaks, or formal hedges. Its rich green, scale-like leaves stay vibrant throughout the year and are arranged in flat sprays that give the tree a soft, feathery texture. The Green Giant is known for its adaptability to various soil types, resistance to deer browsing, and tolerance to heat, humidity, and moderate drought once established. Its rapid growth rate—up to 3 feet per year—makes it a favorite among homeowners and landscapers looking for quick, attractive coverage.
