Additional Information

As an evergreen, Thuja 'Green Giant' provides year-round interest with its dense, rich green foliage that retains its vibrant color through all seasons, even in the harsh winter months.

  • Flowering Season: 'Green Giant' is not typically grown for its flowers. It does produce small, inconspicuous cones in the spring, but these are not considered ornamental.
  • Flower Description: The plant's flowers are small, nondescript cones that are green when young and mature into brown, papery cones. They are not visually significant and are often overlooked.
  • When to Plant: Plant in the spring or fall to allow the plant to establish before extreme temperatures.
  • How to Plant: Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Make sure the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Fill the hole with soil and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, reduce competition from weeds, and protect the roots from temperature fluctuations.
  • Soil: 'Green Giant' prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soils but is adaptable to a variety of soil types, including clay and sandy soils.
  • Disease Resistance: This cultivar is highly resistant to many common pests and diseases that affect other evergreens, such as deer browsing and root rot, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners.
