Why plant Junior Giant Arborvitae Hedge Bundles?
Want to block views into your yard in a hurry but lacked the space for the classic Green Giant Arborvitae? If so, may we introduce the Junior Giant Arborvitae - a tree that truly lives up to its name! Junior Giants make a fine accent tree to provide structure and greenery all year-round to the landscape beds around your home. This tree is low maintenance and requires hardly any pruning, but if you do trim it, you'll appreciate its soft, non-prickly foliage you'll just want to reach out and hug! Along with its fresh Cedar scent, this one's an all-around people pleaser!
Arborvitae means "Tree of Life"; the Vitamin C in the needles of the Eastern species saved early explorers from succumbing to scurvy (we'll stick to orange juice). This variety of Arborvitae was discovered on a nursery in Franktown, VA in 2004 as a naturally occurring branch mutation on Green Giant Arborvitae that was growing there. Once they realized what they had on their hands, they moved quickly to introduce the Green Giant's baby brother to the nursery world as the Junior Giant Arborvitae!
How to use Junior Giant Arborvitae Hedge Bundles in the landscape?
Junior Giant Arborvitae are the perfect medium fit for limited space gardens. A Lot like the Green Giant, but without the extra large size, this evergreen is great for use as a privacy screening or windbreak since it is so strong and upright! This plant is one handsome evergreen that is fast growing and hardy!

How To Plant Junior Giant Arborvitae Hedge Bundles
Arborvitaes are fast growing and the different varieties give you many reasons to add a few to your landscape. The Junior Giant variety prefers full sun, but can tolerate light shade as well. Arborvitaes prefer moist soil as long as it is well-drained, meaning it's not consistently wet. Pests don't seem to be of any concern for Arborvitaes.
How To Water
They require keeping the soil moist (not too wet) after initial planting and be sure to water consistently for the first growing season. Once established, they are more tolerant of drought conditions, reducing your hand-watering responsibilities.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant Food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant Food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. If planting in the fall, use Elements fertilizer while planting and start your regular annual fertilizing the following fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established as it gives your tree the nutrients it needs to produce lush new growth for the following spring.
How To Prune
Pruning the Junior Giant is not required unless you'd like to shape your Arborvitae. If that's the case, then pruning should be done yearly in late spring.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!

Customer Reviews
Plants arrived very promptly to my home in CT. The “small” size is 3 gallon buckets and well worth the price. I Planted all 65 trees within a week of delivery. I roughed up the roots with a little garden hand tool rake and also mixed my sandy soil about 50 50 with compost. I’ve watered every day for a couple weeks and Will probably continue to do so throughout the summer. I have no doubt that these trees will withstand the summer and will take off like rockets next spring. Will write another review at a later date!
Great staff, quick delivery. Trees are planted and looking good!
I received 12 Junior Giant Arborvitaes from Bower and Branch top of April 2023. They were delivered on a box truck by a very friendly, affable driver who brought each bush to the area of my property I wanted them to be set until planting. They were the size I paid for and in excellent health/condition. They were planted within 4 days of receiving them which was 6 weeks ago as of this writing and they are thriving. Leading up to the delivery, when I had questions, I had several occasions to speak to the folks at Bower and Branch and they were knowledgeable, helpful, pleasant...actually fun to talk to...I am an absolute fan and highly recommend them. They tell you the truth, do what they say, and the product stands on its own. Excellence.
