Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Green Giant Arborvitae live plants is straightforward, ensuring they grow into magnificent privacy screens. These trees prefer a location with full sun to partial shade, meaning they should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth, though they can tolerate some afternoon shade. When planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Ensure the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above the surrounding soil to prevent waterlogging. Space trees 5-6 feet apart for a dense privacy screen, or 10-15 feet apart for a more natural, spaced-out effect.

Thuja Plicata privacy trees are adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, but they perform best in moist, well-draining soil. Avoid areas where water tends to collect, as consistently wet roots can lead to issues. Water newly planted trees regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy, for their first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, they are relatively drought-tolerant but will benefit from deep watering during prolonged dry spells. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer designed for evergreens to support their vigorous growth.

These deer resistant evergreen trees are hardy in USDA Zone 3-8 trees, making them suitable for many different climates. Pruning is generally not required for Green Giant Arborvitae as they naturally maintain their conical shape. However, light trimming can be done in late winter or early spring to shape or remove any dead or damaged branches. Monitor for common pests like bagworms or spider mites, though they are generally quite resistant. With proper care, your Green Giant Arborvitae will quickly develop into a stunning and effective privacy hedge.
