Green Giant Arborvitae Hedge

Green Giant Arborvitae Hedge

The Green Giant Thuja is a hybrid discovered in Denmark is a powerhouse performer, growing vigorously to towering heights. There's no need to prune this evergreen, you can simply let it grow its full 30-40' for a windbreak. The Green Giant arborvitae does respond well to pruning, however, if you'd prefer something a little more uniform for hedging. The biggest benefit, other than its brilliant size, is that the lush, abundant foliage puts the 'green' in evergreen—it won't turn yellow or bronze in winter. This Green Giant arborvitae hedge variety is not very picky about soil, but it prefers well-drained if you have it. It's also extremely resilient to hotter humid temperatures, as well as frost and snow. Order your Green Giant Thuja hedges, so you can have a beautiful, towering hedge that acts both as shade, a sound barrier, and privacy.
