Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae Are One of the Fastest-Growing Trees Used For Privacy
The Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae, also known as Western Arborvitae, is one of the most popular evergreen trees for privacy and windbreaks. This is because it is fast-growing and is considered a tough tree that can handle most conditions. Green Giant has soft green foliage that is thick & lush.
Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae’s growth rate is 3 to 5 feet yearly. It naturally keeps its pyramidal shape, so they rarely need pruning. Just make sure you have enough room for them. There’s a reason why they are called green ‘giant’. This arborvitae can get up to 60 feet tall and 20 feet wide.
They are native to North America. While they can handle most growing conditions, they will do best in moist, well-drained soil with partial to full sun.
