Why Choose Thuja Green Giant?

Thuja Green Giant is a hybrid cultivar, combining the best traits of Thuja plicata and Thuja standishii. It is ideal for anyone searching for Thuja Green Giant for sale to create hedging borders, privacy screens, or shelterbelts in both urban and rural settings. Its rapid growth rate (up to 1 metre per year with proper care) means you’ll enjoy a mature, attractive hedge much sooner than with slower-growing conifers. The foliage remains fresh green throughout the year, and unlike some other conifer varieties, Thuja Green Giant tolerates both wet and dry soils, making it perfect for diverse garden environments across New Zealand.

Planting and Care Tips

Thuja Green Giant adapts well to full sun or partial shade but grows best in well-drained soils. For hedging, space plants 1–1.5 metres apart. Water regularly during establishment, and apply mulch to conserve soil moisture and keep weeds at bay. Once established, Thuja Green Giant is extremely hardy and needs minimal attention. Occasional light trimming in late summer keeps your hedge neat and encourages denser growth.
