Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Thuja Green Giant live plant is straightforward, ensuring healthy growth and a lush privacy screen. These trees prefer full sun to partial shade, meaning they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth. However, they can tolerate some afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates. When planting, ensure the soil is well-draining. While adaptable to various soil types, amending heavy clay soils with organic matter can improve drainage and aeration, benefiting root development. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground.

Watering is crucial, especially during the first year of establishment. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering once or twice a week is generally more effective than frequent shallow watering. Once established, the Green Giant arborvitae becomes more drought-tolerant, though supplemental watering during prolonged dry spells is beneficial. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release tree and shrub fertilizer. Pruning is typically minimal, mainly for shaping or removing dead or damaged branches. For a dense Thuja Green Giant privacy hedge, light shearing of the sides can encourage bushier growth. These fast growing arborvitae are generally robust, but monitor for bagworms; prompt removal can prevent significant damage. Their hardiness in zones 3-8 makes them a reliable choice for cold climates.
