| Thuja Plicata x standishii 'Green Giant'
VERY FAST GROWING !!! A very vigorous growing arborvitae - fastest growing of all the arbs. Nice pyramidal shape with dense, rich green foliage that has a graceful fernlike texture. Can be used as either a single specimen tree, or as a nice big winbreak, hedge, or screen. Recommended spacing of 6-8 feet apart when used as a screen / border. Good growth rates - best of all the Thujas.......but beware of many false / exaggerated growth claims being published throughout the industry these days!! from our experience with this hybrid, growth can be expected to be between 2-4 feet per year in average conditions. Obviously, growth may be more in very favorable conditions - and substantially less in poorer conditions. We have personally seen claims of 5-6 feet......or more per year advertised. Sorry folks, just not gonna happen. They grow fast, but that is stretching it just a bit.
