Green Giant Arborvitae

When your Green Giant is dry, water it one inch or so below the surface of the earth. Always water deeply enough for the water to drain out the drainage holes after passing through the soil. If it's warm outside, you should water it every few days; if it's chilly outside, you can

  1. Green Giant ARBORVITAE

  2. Introduction The superb, low-maintenance Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae can be used for a variety of purposes in the landscape. Since 1965, when it was first delivered from Denmark to the American National Arboretum, it has become a favorite among homeowners and landscapers.

  3. How to Care for Green Giant Arborvitae There are mainly 8 ways to take care of your Green Giant Arborvitae project 01 project 02

  4. WHEN TO PLANT WHERE TO PLANT Arborvitae require six hours of direct sunlight each day to grow at their fastest, but they can also thrive in some partial shade. Since they tend to become less numerous in areas with more shade, the more sunlight, the better. Your Green Giant should be planted between late fall and early spring when the ground is still workable but the tree is not actively growing. m o r e m o r e

  5. HOW TO PLANT HOW MANY TO PLANT To plant individual green giant trees, create a hole that is two to three times as broad and as deep as the root balls or pots they are in. Place the trees in the holes with the tops of the roots slightly below the soil's surface after tearing the roots apart. To ensure that there are no air pockets and that the dirt is firmly in place, backfill the holes with it and gently tamp them down. m o r e Once you've chosen a site, you'll need to know how many items to purchase. Calculate the number of linear feet you want to cover. The simplest way to plant a hedge is, to begin with, an InstantHedge that is pre-spaced and supplied in a set of 10 linear feet. m o r e

  6. WATERING FERTILIZING The trees will require weekly watering during the growing season when they are established during their first and second years on your property. Arborvitae needs damp, but not soggy, soil. To prevent root rot, water should not be applied directly to the roots but rather a few feet away from the trunk, soaking the soil. Always prefer a thorough soak to a rapid, shallow watering. Your Green Giant trees will require nutrition as they expand to stay healthy. Use an all- purpose, slow-release, granular fertilizer with a high nitrogen concentration, such as 16-5-9 or 18-5-12, to fertilize them each spring. Incorporate it completely by watering it in as directed. m o r e

  7. PRUNING MULCHING Spread 2 to 3 inches of mulch out to the dripline of the trees, being careful to keep it away from the base of the tree trunks, to help the roots retain moisture. The majority of mulch kinds, including bark, leaves, and even rock, are appropriate for this. Green Giant Arborvitae When planted, grow between 3 and 5 feet per year. With clean, sharp shears or electric hedge trimmers, you can prune them each year to a smaller size to maintain the ideal height. The extremities of the branches, not the older, bare areas near the trunk, are the only places where arborvitae produce new growth. m o r e m o r e

  8. GROWING GREEN GIANT ARBORVITAE IN CONTAINERS In pots, Green Giant Arborvitae can be planted effectively as accents around a pool, patio, or front door. For trees 6 to 8 feet high, opt for a large pot (18 to 24 inches in diameter) or a half barrel. To allow the water to drain, check that the pot's bottom has holes. Your tree may be at danger for root rot if water builds up in the pot. To allow for root extension and air circulation, fill the container with a loose, well-draining potting mix. Never use tree dirt, garden soil, or soil from a commercial garden. It will suffocate the roots since it is too dense and compacts too quickly in a container.
