Want to block views into your yard in a hurry? Green Giant Arborvitae is the answer. A row of these handsome, easy, fast-growing evergreen trees planted along your property line creates a natural privacy fence. The best part?

This tree requires hardly any pruning, but if you do trim it, you'll appreciate its soft, non-prickly foliage and its fresh Cedar scent.
Arborvitae means "Tree of Life"; the Vitamin C in the needles of the Eastern species saved early explorers from succumbing to scurvy. We think we'll stick to orange juice! This variety is a hybrid between a Western species and one from Japan. It was first grown at the Poulsen family nursery in Denmark in 1937, and then shared with the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. in 1967. The Poulsen family nursery in Denmark is also responsible for the Emerald Green Arborvitae as well.
Once the public found out about Green Giant Arborvitae in the late 1990s, it was an instant hit. Finding its way into landscapes and yards from coast to coast throughout the United States as an all around people pleaser!

How To Plant Green Giant Arborvitae Hedge in Bulk
Arborvitaes are fast growing and the different varieties give you many reasons to add a few to your landscape. Green varieties like full sun, but 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.
Green Giant Arborvitae is fast growing, producing two to three feet of new growth a year. It is considered the “Leyland Cypress for the north.” While Leylands and Green Giants are similar in appearance and growth rate, the Green Giant withstands colder climates.
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 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
Arbs rarely need shearing but if a haircut would be beneficial, Green Giant Arbs, being such fast growers, can be sheared annually, preferably in March.
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!
