Thuja x. plicata 'Green Giant'

Choose Green Giant Arborvitae if you need a fast, large evergreen screen and have room to let it grow. The payoff is quick privacy and strong deer resistance; the tradeoff is size—it is not a tight-yard foundation plant.

Buy This If

You need privacy sooner.
You have space for a large screen.
You want better deer resistance than many arborvitae.

Skip This If

You need a compact evergreen.
You want a tight formal hedge.
You cannot water during establishment.

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A	It makes a strong property-line screen, but its scale can overpower small plantings.
Growth Rate	A	It is a fast grower once established, which is the main reason to buy it.
Maintenance	B+	It needs little shaping, but young plants still need steady watering and room.
Deer Resistance	A-	Its Thuja plicata genetics give it strong deer resistance for our region.
Small Space Fit	D	This is the wrong plant for tight beds, corners, and small urban yards.
Screening Value	A+	For a large evergreen privacy row, it is one of the strongest options we sell.
Wet Site Tolerance	C+	It takes average to moist ground but does not have the swamp tolerance of our native Thuja occidentalis arborvitae.

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Green Giant Arborvitae when the customer wants privacy more than a formal hedge. Give it space, water it well while it settles in, and do not crowd it against the house. If the job is a permitted shoreland or wetland buffer, or the screening line runs through wet ground, we would switch you to a native Thuja occidentalis variety instead — Dark Green, Techny, or Emerald Green.

Customers Usually Ask

How fast will it screen?

Faster than most arborvitae, especially after the roots settle in.

Is this a native arborvitae?

No. Green Giant is a hybrid of Pacific Northwest and Japanese parents. If you need native, or the job is a permitted buffer planting, use one of our Thuja occidentalis varieties — they are native and carry a FACW wetland rating.

Will deer eat it?

It has strong deer resistance in our market, though no plant is immune.

Can I keep it small?

Not realistically; choose a smaller arborvitae if size control matters.

Why Choose Arborvitaes for Privacy & Year-Round Coverage?

Arborvitaes are the gold standard for privacy screens and evergreen structure in New England landscapes. Known for their dense foliage, year-round color, and cold hardiness, these fast-growing evergreens create natural boundaries, wind protection.

Fast, Dense Privacy: Quick-growing varieties fill in efficiently to create natural screening from neighbors or roads.
Year-Round Evergreen Color: Maintain consistent greenery through winter when other plants go dormant.
Cold Hardy & Reliable: Built to withstand northern climates, arborvitaes provide dependable long-term structure.

Why Choose Pro Growers of New England for Arborvitaes?

At Pro Growers of New England, our arborvitaes are grown and maintained locally for real New England conditions — not boxed up and shipped across the country. Every plant is carefully selected, properly spaced, and allowed to develop strong root systems before ever leaving the nursery.

Unlike large online sellers, you’re welcome to visit our nursery in person, walk the rows, inspect the exact plants available, and see firsthand how they’re grown. That means no surprises, no guessing, and no damaged plants from long-distance transit.

Easy ordering, delivery and installation! Highly recommend ordering from Pro Growers of New England.

Excellent service all around, from the consultation to install. Would definitely buy from them again!

Healthy Green Giant trees and professional planting, who needs more...

Really quick installation of the trees! Very courteous crew!

Guys we're great, showed up early and helped guild me for the placement of the trees.

Great experience with Pro Growers. Easy to work with, showed up on time, and did a great job with the planting. The trees look great and the crew left everything clean when they were done. Would definitely use them again.

Easy to work with group. Plants delivered on time and in good shape

The purchase was easy and timely and 3 out of the 5 trees looked really nice however one of the trees has a bare spot and the other did t look to good as it was crooked, has a big bare spot on lower half and was skinnier than the rest. I’m wondering if that one was a “premium “ tree like the others.

Price was good & getting them quickly was good, but they’re not as full as I was hoping they’d be, based on picture from website.

Found this company on GOOGLE, and so glad I did!
I needed trees asap, to create a fence from neighbors. None of the local nurseries had any stock for the Green Giant Arborvitae’s.
Only a 30 min ride, and we were met with the kindest folks and the BEST selection of trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials.
Don’t even bother with the Big Box stores, (if they have them, they are usually half dead) when you can get them bigger and HEALTHIER at Pro Growers. A N D local delivery is readily available!
WHY go anywhere else!

Nice looking trees and the guys did a great job installing them in some challenging areas.

Trees looked healthy and ready to plant. Thanks

I expected a fuller and more developed plant for a 6-7 foot bush.

Fantastic quality at excellent prices

I highly recommend Progrowers. Starting with ordering from Chris, 2 great installers and follow up questions with the office, all were very professional and helpful. Would definitely use them again. Thanks Progrowers!

Very nice i love it
