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.

Why Plant Deerproof™ Giant Arborvitae?

Deerproof™ Giant Arborvitae is the solution for gardeners who love evergreens but struggle with deer damage. Selected for its strong natural resistance to browsing, this tree offers peace of mind in landscapes where deer pressure is high. Beyond its deer resistance, it delivers everything you want in a giant arborvitae: fast growth, dense foliage, and dependable year-round coverage. Plant it with confidence as a living fence, windbreak, or backdrop to the garden, and enjoy privacy and beauty without constant worry.

How to use Deerproof™ Giant Arborvitae in the landscape?

Deerproof™ Giant Arborvitae is perfect for forming tall, effective privacy screens where deer are a constant challenge. Plant it in rows along property lines or use it to shield outdoor living spaces from view. Its rapid growth and lush, upright habit make it an excellent natural fence or windbreak. For larger properties, it can also be used to define boundaries, create garden rooms, or provide a dramatic evergreen backdrop. Unlike many arborvitaes, you can rely on this variety to thrive without becoming a snack for local deer.

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!
