Thuja x Junior Giant
Green Giant's baby brother - Junior Giant
Arborvitaes are prized for the contribution they make as evergreen privacy screens. Fast-growing, with dark-green, fragrant, feathery foliage, they are regarded as America’s most distinguished landscape plant. Well, guess what folks??? The famous ‘Green Giant’ sprouted a baby! Instead of a 30-40’ tall specimen, Junior Giant will mature at 15-20’, making it a much better fit for sites where space is limited. Just as long-lived as its predecessor, plant Junior Giant on 5’ spacings and expect to enjoy your own privacy for up to 40 years. You have to admit; this is an excellent investment!
