"I got my green giants from this company 3 yrs ago. Over 100 of them and only lost 1. They are doing wonderful over 9 ft. tall now. This company had the best price and their service was great. It was my 1st internet order and I was a little (real) leery of what might happen. Talked to your dad on the phone and he assured me everything would be o.k. Tell all my friends that I got them over the internet and they are amazed!! THANK YOU ANYTHING GREEN for being so honest. (Posted on 8/19/09)"

Thuja Green Giant Spacing

Thuja Green Giants typically grow to be about 10-12 feet wide at maturity. Most people use Green Giants as a privacy screen.

Single Row Spacing

To acheive a quick privacy screen plant your trees 5 feet apart. This is the healthiest space to acheive quick privacy. Planting any closer could be unhealthy for the plants as they grow together.

Example of Thuja Green Giant Single Row Spacing.

Staggered Row Spacing

Many homeowners want to create very quick privacy so they plant their trees closer together. This is unhealthy for the plants as it causes over crowding. If you have enough space you can get the same effect but without the side effects of planting too close together. Simply plant two rows of trees and stagger the rows. We recommend 8 feet between each plant and 4 feet between rows but you can experiment with this. Just makes sure that each tree is 5 feet away from another.

How to Plant your Thuja Green Giants

Dig hole about 2 inches wider and deeper than rootbal of your plant.
Place plant in hole a fill in with soil. Some soils e.g. clay will need potting soil or fine mulch mixed in.
Sprinkle one tablespoon of lime around the drip line of the tree.
Water until soil is saturated; then gently apply pressure around the tree to make the mud "squish" around the plant.
Carefully follow fertilizer instructions from figure below.
Lightly mulch around tree.

Fertilizing instructions:

Find a slow release fertilizer marked with the numbers 14-7-7. Sometimes this is marked as Azalea Food.

If you cannot find 14-7-7 find a slow release with less than 19% or less Nitrogen and half the amount of phosphates and Soluble Potash.

Fertilize your plants only 3 times a year.

Best dates to fertilize are March 31, June 30, and September 30.
