Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your fast growing evergreen trees is straightforward, ensuring they establish well and thrive for years to come. These young Thuja Green Giant live plant specimens are robust and adaptable, but proper initial care will promote optimal growth and health. Upon arrival, ensure the plants are well-watered. When planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Gently remove the plant from its 2.5″ pot, loosen any circling roots, and place it in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with native soil, tamping gently to remove air pockets.

For optimal growth, Green Giant Arborvitae prefers full sun to partial shade, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While adaptable to various soil types, well-draining soil is crucial to prevent root rot. Water thoroughly after planting and regularly during the first growing season, especially during dry spells, to encourage deep root development. Once established, they are relatively drought-tolerant. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer formulated for evergreens. Pruning is generally not required for shape, but you can trim to maintain a desired height or width in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. These deer resistant trees are a great option for areas with wildlife.

Green Giant Arborvitae are hardy in USDA Zones 3-8, tolerating cold winters and hot summers. They are generally pest and disease resistant, but monitor for any signs of stress. Proper spacing is key for their mature size; for a dense privacy screen, plant them 5-6 feet apart. If you desire a more natural, individual tree appearance, space them 10-15 feet apart. This spacing ensures good air circulation and allows each tree to reach its full potential. Following these simple care guidelines will ensure your Thuja Green Giant live plant collection flourishes, providing a beautiful and functional addition to your landscape.
