Add fast-growing privacy and timeless greenery to your landscape with the Green Giant Arborvitae. Known for its impressive growth rate, lush evergreen foliage, and natural disease resistance, this tree is a top choice for hedges, screens, and windbreaks.
The Green Giant Arborvitae forms a dense, pyramidal shape with rich green needles that hold their color year-round. It can grow 3–5 feet per year, quickly reaching a mature height of 40–60 feet while staying compact at the base.
