Thuja 'Green Giant'
Overview
Arborvitae (Thuja 'Green Giant') is a quick-growing, tall evergreen coniferous tree with deep-green scale-like foliage. It is ideal as a hedge or accent tree in smaller gardens or yards, as it can reach up to 80 feet (24 m) tall. This dense and weather-resistant tree is tolerant of most soils and is an ideal choice for planting as a windbreak or privacy screen. The dense foliage makes it difficult for anything to penetrate, creating a safe and secure environment. It requires very little pruning, making it easy to maintain and leaves no debris.
