Where can I purchase tall Thuja Green Giants?

15 years ago

We are intersted in finding an online source for Thuja Green Giants that are at least 6' tall. Can anyone help?

Also can anyone tell me if the hybrid cross between a Thuja plicata & Thuja standishii is the "real" Green Giant?

We live in Oklahoma & planted about 80 Thujas several years ago. They were 1 gallon size. They were advertised to grow up to 3 feet/year. The important words are "up to". After 3+ years 1 or 2 of those trees are 5' tall; several are 3' tall; most are 2' tall. We've had alot of rain this year & are hoping they will start to really grow.

We like the thujas but don't want to wait forever for them to grow enough to provide a screen. Thank you.

Thuja Green Giant is becoming more and more popular among landscapers, growers, and homeowners alike. This hardy, fast growing, conifer makes a perfect privacy screen in just a few short years.

Green Giant will grow from 3 to 5 feet per year and will eventually grow to 50 feet or more with a fairly narrow spread. The color is a deep lustrous green and is pleasantly fragrant.

Green Giant will grow in a wide range of soils in zones 5 to 8 and prefers a deep well drained fertile soil although it adapts well to frequently saturated clay soils. This is a tough tree and will not easily suffer damage from high wind or heavy ice and snow loads.

Green Giant is drought tolerant after it is well established, exhibits no significant pest or disease problems, is deer and bagworm resistant and is hardy to -25F.

This new USDA US National Arboretum release as Green Giant has been evaluated since 1967 and will become the outstanding alternative screening-evergreen to the disease prone Leyland Cypress in the south and to the Hemlocks that are dying throughout New England. Click here for more information. Plant 5 to 6 feet apart for a really fast privacy screen, otherwise 10-12 feet apart. Green Giant can be trimmed to any height and width.

bigger transplants can take longer to establish .... after transplant ...

frankly ... in a given 5 year period after transplant.. i doubt you could tell the difference between a 6 foot trans.. and a 3 foot trans ..... and maybe even a 1.5 foot transplant ...

if money is no object ... go for big...

if there is a budget ... do half big.. half smaller ... besides it will make for a more interesting height variation ...

or 1/3 of 3 heights..

good luck

I got my 35 GG's (18-24" in quarts, they were all 30" tall above the pot!) from the Botany Shop. Not a bad thing to say about them at all.(The trees or the Botany Shop. LOL) I got some of their "Nanjing Beauties" in peat pots, as a test, and they all died, but then I didn't expect them to survive as soon as I saw them. They were bronzed badly right out of the box. I may try again, as they are very interesting trees to look at in the pics. My GG's are all doing very well. I planted them after 3 weeks in the garage when the frosts finally let up, in sandy clay with Osmocote 14-14-14 on half as recommended by the Shop, and the other half I used evergreen plant stakes. I guess I wasted my money on the Plant stakes, after doing some reading here, but they are all doing great, with 6" inches so far in the last month alone, and all are starting to spread out. LOL

You know, I did not realize that "any" juniper could harbor the rust fungus. This may explain why some of my fruit trees have died off. There are juniper shrubs lining the border of my neighbor's property. When I first bought the property 4 years ago I had 3 peach trees and several apple trees including a stunted apple that looked blistered and burnt. All of the peach trees have died and I had to finally cut the apple down because only half of it awoke from the winter sleep. The fruit trees have really proven to be a pain with all the mess they create and for how susceptible they are to illness, but I am reluctant to remove them because the critters love them so much. Treeguy - I am so sorry about your loss. With the trouble I am having already I've just decided to not even look into the red cedar, which saddens me because they are majestic. bernyz5 - western red cedar are some serious trees! Thank you for the suggestion. 1-3 feet of growth a year is not bad. I love the height that these trees reach and the thick base makes me feel more secure that the tree won't be uprooted in a strong wind. I've decided to purchase 4 Western Red Cedar and 4 Norway Spruce next spring. I hope to get 3-5 foot saplings. Two of the sites I'm considering purchasing from are below: http://www.norwayspruce.com/index.html#dp http://www.nurserytrees.com/Western_Red_Cedar_Page.htm Do these prices look pretty good? If any of you have suggestions for trustworthy online conifer dealers, please share. And I thank you again for your help.

Thuja Green Giant, Emerald Green or Nigra for hedge?

I think many conifers grow very slowly. Pine trees are the exception. They grow very fast. You may consider those, but they are wayyyyyy more than 20ft. Another fast growing conifer is the Witchita Blue Juniper. It will get 4-8 ft wide and 15-20 ft tall. If you plant them, make sure to plant 4 feet next to each other. It can be used as a screen or a windbreak and will need no pruning. It also has appealing color. Goodluck with what ever you choose.

Q

This is a great thread. I am new to this, but finally got my back patio looking great after living in my house for 14 years. I decide to enjoy my new fire pit and realized THIS is my current view. It's probably pretty obvious why I planted these trees, not to mention the loud kids running around in the back yard all day. But after reading a LOT more about these monster trees, I feel like I may have overshot the runway? I planted these 6' off the property line (and 6' apart, not to their trunk center but the edge of the hole...oops) but am still afraid they may grow over the neighbor's yard. There is no fence or other obstruction between our yards (well, except for the, you know.....Dodge Durango!?!) so I am a little concerned about the intrusion in to the neighbor's property. We aren't the best of friends either, so there's that. The trees are about 18" now so won't be an issue for a while, but they are still young enough I could replant if necessary. I included two pictures to show the property line and how much of my yard space I'm giving up (which I am HAPPY to do to eliminate that horrible eye sore!) Any advice on if I allowed enough room for these things?
