A fast-growing, majestic evergreen with natural deer resistance, offering lasting privacy and year-round beauty

Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip
When planting Deerproof™ Giant Arborvitae for privacy, stagger trees in a zigzag pattern rather than a straight line. This creates a thicker, more natural screen and allows each tree more room to grow. Add shade-loving perennials or ornamental grasses at the base to complete the layered look.

- Mature Height: 25-35' tall
- Mature Width: 8-12' wide
- Exposure: Full Sun to Part Shade
