Green Giant Arborvitae, Thuja plicata x standishii 'Green Giant'
Tall and narrow, Thuja standishii × plicata ‘Green Giant’ (Arborvitae) is a majestic, evergreen tree of conical to pyramidal habit with sprays of rich glossy green foliage year-round. Fast-growing, up to 5 ft. per year (150 cm), it is regarded as a disease-free substitute for Leland cypress. Forming a majestic exclamation point in the landscape, it is excellent as a specimen plant and for screens or hedges.
Arborvitae is one of the most versatile, easy-to-grow evergreens suited to cold northern landscapes. Perfect as specimen plants, hedges, foundation plantings, and windbreaks, these attractive shrubs require hardly any maintenance while contributing beautifully to our landscapes.
