Zone: 4GREEN GIANT WESTERN ARBORVITAE
Thuja plicata x standishii 'Green Giant' is commonly referred to as Green Giant Arborvitae. It is a hybrid cross between the western red cedar and the Japanese Arborvitae. It is a vigorous, fast growing, low-branching, columnar arborvitae with sprays of deep green, scale-like needles with great color retention through the winter. It has a broadly pyramidal habit that can grow up to 5 feet per year. It is known to make a hardier substitute for Leyland cypress (Cupressus x leylandii).
Green Giant Arborvitae is deer resistant and quite adaptable to different soil types. It thrives in full sun in rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils. Protection from drying winds is beneficial. This majestic evergreen requires little to no pruning and makes an idea specimen plant or a natural screen/barrier for privacy.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location that receives full sun to partial shade for the best foliage density and color. These evergreen species are adaptable, but they require consistent moisture to remain healthy and vibrant, particularly during the first few growing seasons until the root system is well established. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood or to lightly shape the plant, avoiding deep cuts into old wood where foliage will not regrow. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
