Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae - Fast-Growing Privacy Screen Evergreen | 40-60 Feet Tall, Individual Plants

Create the ultimate natural privacy barrier with America's fastest-growing evergreen hedge solution. The Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae is a vigorous, award-winning evergreen conifer that has become the number one choice for living privacy fences, quickly beating out Leyland Cypress as the most popular screening tree. This exceptional fast-growing evergreen has become extremely popular for their fast growth rate and hardy nature, these attractive arborvitae have quickly beat out Leyland Cypress as the number one choice for living fences. With its dense columnar-pyramidal habit and dark green sprays of small, glossy, scale-like needles that retain their deep green color through the winter and can grow 3 to 4 feet per year in optimal conditions, the Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae transforms ordinary property lines into majestic green walls that provide year-round privacy. The low-branching, dense columnar-pyramidal habit along with resistance to most diseases, insects, periodic droughts, and deer create dependable screening performance while requiring minimal maintenance once established. Unlike other evergreens that grow slowly or struggle in various conditions, these hardy arborvitae provide rapid establishment that actually improves privacy coverage with each passing season.


Why You'll Love the Thuja Green Giant

Impressive Growth & Size: Growing 40-60 feet tall and 10-15 feet wide with growth rates of 3 to 4 feet per year in optimal conditions makes this the perfect choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, specimen plantings, and large property boundaries.

Fast Privacy Results: Plant one every 5 to 6 feet and they quickly create a dense barrier with spacing them 8-10 feet apart recommended for areas with more room, and will still provide privacy and height. These fast-growing hedges thrive in heat and humidity with superior establishment rates.

Outstanding Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 5-8, showing a high tolerance for a variety of climatic conditions and resists most diseases, insects, periodic droughts, and deer. Once established, these evergreens provide reliable year-round performance.

Versatile Growing Conditions: A low-maintenance landscaping choice due to its hardiness and grows in almost any soil, even sandy loam or heavy clays - perfect for property owners wanting rapid privacy establishment with minimal ongoing care.


Thuja Green Giant Details

  • Type: Evergreen conifer
  • Mature Size: 40-60 feet tall × 10-15 feet wide (columnar-pyramidal shape)
  • Growth Rate: Fast — 3 to 4 feet per year in optimal conditions
  • Light: Prefers direct sunlight, but also does well in partial shade
  • Soil: Grows in almost any soil, even sandy loam or heavy clays; well-drained soils preferred
  • Water: Drought tolerant once established; keep soil moist but not soggy after planting

Growing Conditions

Soil Adaptability: Best grown in moist, fertile, well-drained soils and tolerates somewhat wide range of soils and some dry conditions. However, will not survive on varieties of soils that are wet sites, poorly drained, or ones that stay soggy.

My puppy LOVEs this ball
Color: Glow in the dark I, Size: Medium
I saw someone recommend this ball in a facebook group. I ordered the first one and it is now sitting somewhere under my deck and I can't find it. My dog loved it so much I had to order a second one. I think the fact there are so many tabs it makes it easy for him to grab it and run so very functional. He doesn't always like to share. The glow in the dark ability I would rate that good at all. The rest of the ball is good quality and holds up well against my aggressive chewer. Its easy to throw or kick. It isn't super hard but is holds it shape well. My dog is about 8 months old and is a mini goldendoodle. I think he was about 18lbs in the video. Perfect size for him. I would definitely recommend, I think your dog would love it!

Corgi goes crazy for this ball
Six months now, still five stars. It is still easily our Corgi’s favorite ball & she still enjoys it all kinds of ways. Rather than tiring of it she likes it even more. She really likes the tabs that make it so easy to grab & hold onto. The ball is all roughed up & torn up still but held up well & has not had to be pumped back up at all. As others noted a small manual ball pump, about 10” with i think 3 different attachments, is included with each order. The glow in the dark stuff is apparently a coating of some kind which has been totally rubbed off. I used an art pen with glow liquid to trace the pattern on the ball for a glow refresh, we’ll see how long that lasts. It is hard to find toys she likes that much, i highly recommend! Our Welsh Corgi goes nuts for this slightly smaller size soccer ball. She had a full-sized ball that we left slightly deflated so she could run with it. This one is even better than i ever would’ve guessed it would be! The tabs, including a longer tab useful as a handle for humans, make it easy for her to grab it or run all over playing keep away with it. Not interested in herding this ball when she can run all over the yard with it or carry it everywhere with her. She’s a super strong chewer in spite of being small so it is extra durable by our tough standards & it appears that it will last at least a year im guessing. Quality materials & craftsmanship. It’s held up over a month - roughed up but not excessively. The glow in the dark feature is not as bright as the photos - don’t buy it just for that - but it glows some given enough daytime sun, and a dark night so the glow can show. Only the top side of the ball that’s facing up can absorb the sunlight at a time so it’s unlikely that the entire ball could get the amount of sunlight needed to glow brightly all at once. All and all this is the best, most well used toy purchased for her during her one year with us, well worth the $$ and recommend buying it if your pet enjoys balls, keep away, herding, and/or fetch, anything like that. She also likes to hide it from me, just the right size for that.

Pawsome product!
Color: Glow in the dark I, Size: Medium
Pawsome for our doggos! We have bought 5 because the puppy chewed the tags off. Our dogs are border / aussie mix and love the challenge of these balls. We named them "Wilson" because they treat them like their best friend.
