Green Giant Arborvitae

Why it rocks:

Green Giant Arborvitae is an exciting new variety which is capturing people’s attention. This arborvitae is large, vigorous, and fast growing. It has a pyramidal form and a medium to dark green color which is very resistant of winter frost burn. Green Giant has proven itself as a performer and can be used anywhere in the landscape. Under good growing conditions this tree can grow up to 3ft a year! 

Where to put it:

Be aware that unlike many arborvitae used for landscape situations the Green Giant gets massive and will reach a height of 50-60’ tall by 12-20’ wide. They are often planted 5-6ft apart for a quick screen, but 10-15’ apart is ideal for regular situations.
