Thuja x 'Green Giant'

Thuja x (standishii x plicata) Green Giant

Thuja (aka Arborvitae) 'Green Giant' has been gaining popularity as an evergreen screen. A good replacement for the Coastal Redwood that needs more water and the Leyland Cypress that can have die-out. A fast grower when young with proper irrigation. Waterwise when established in the landscape. Has no obvious insect problems. Average height is 35' to 40' in 25 to 30 years.
Will grow from the Bay area to the Valley and Lake Tahoe. Tolerates most soil types.

What a difference a year makes with the Weather

Spring 2012 is off to be a better start than 2011. Given what we all had last year, this is a good sign for the nursery industry. Precipitation is slowing catching up to average. A good thing. The ground was getting too dry. Becoming too difficult to dig in.
