Summer 2019
Trees to Consider:
Green Giant Arborvitae
Green Giant Arborvitae is a hybrid cross between western redcedar and Japanese arborvitae. It is a large, hardy evergreen with a pyramidal to conical, uniform appearance. It is extremely popular as a screen or hedge in landscapes.
Latin Name: Thuja standishii x plicata
Common Name(s): Green Giant Arborvitae, Thuja Green Giant.
Tree Type: A narrow, pyramid-shaped tree, both a hedge tree and a specimen tree.
Sun and Water Requirements: Full sun to partial shade, thrives in evenly moist soil. Wet or poorly drained sites should be avoided.
Expected growth: A fast grower, its mature size reaches 50’- 60’ with a spread of 12’ – 20’, growing as much as 3’ in one year. Note: Keep this in mind when choosing quantity, size and spacing.
Foliage: Flattened, lacy sprays of fragrant evergreen needles, producing half-inch oblong cones that emerge green and turn brown.
Landscape Value: Green Giant is often used to screen out undesirable landscape elements. Consider a staggered double row and a triangular format, rather than in-a-line to reduce unwanted sounds as well. Symmetrical plantings can lend a touch of formality to foundations, entry ways, sidewalks or garden elements in addition to the usual screening arrangements along fences, borders or driveways. The Green Giant has also shown tolerance to deer browsing and is one of the easiest and most reliable choices you can make for your landscape!
