PERFECT PLANTS Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae 18-Pack liners — Fast-growing evergreen privacy trees, potted for instant planting

PERFECT PLANTS Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae 18-pack liners are potted evergreen privacy trees that establish quickly to form a dense, year-round living screen.

This 18-count bundle of Thuja standishii x plicata liners delivers strong, upright evergreens with bright, fragrant foliage grown in our Florida nursery. Each tree ships in an individual nursery pot so you receive actively growing specimens rather than bare-root stock. Thuja Green Giant is a top choice for homeowners who want a natural windbreak, sound buffer, or instant privacy hedge adaptable across many U.S. gardening zones.

How quickly will these Thuja Green Giant liners create a privacy screen?

Growth rate depends on site conditions, but Green Giant is known for faster-than-average growth among arborvitae when planted in full sun with regular moisture. Expect noticeable height and density within a few seasons, especially with annual feeding and consistent watering the first year.

• Arrive potted and established — ready to plant into soil.
• Performs best in full sun; tolerates partial shade.
• Responds well to yearly fertilizer to sustain rapid growth.
• Prune as needed to maintain desired width and shape.

What site conditions do these trees need to thrive?

Thuja Green Giant tolerates a wide range of soils but prefers well-drained loam and regular watering after planting. It grows reliably in USDA zones 5–9, making it suitable for most regions of the continental U.S., excluding restricted shipping states noted in the product details.

• Soil: well-drained, fertile when possible.
• Light: full sun to light shade for best density.
• Water: keep moist during establishment; drought-tolerant once mature.
• Zones: hardy across zones 5 through 9.

How should I plant and care for these potted liners after they arrive?

Plant each liner at the same soil depth as it was in its nursery pot, loosen the root ball gently, and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly after planting and follow the included planting guide; mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds while roots establish.

• Plant at the same depth as the pot root ball.
• Water deeply at planting and regularly the first season.
• Mulch 2–3 inches around the base, avoiding direct trunk contact.
• Fertilize yearly to promote steady growth and vigor.

Will these trees fit into small yards or can they get very large?

Thuja Green Giant can reach significant mature size if left unpruned—commonly up to 40–60 feet tall and 15–20 feet wide—so planning spacing and regular trimming is important for limited spaces. They prune well, allowing you to maintain a narrower hedge or sculpted screen as needed.

• Mature height often spans tens of feet unless trimmed.
• Responds well to pruning to control height and width.
• Space rows according to desired final density and maintenance level.

Who is this for? Homeowners, landscapers, and property managers seeking a ready-to-plant, value-packed option for long-lasting privacy, sound buffering, or a windbreak will find this 18-pack especially useful. It’s a practical choice for those who want potted, established liners that begin growing immediately after transplanting and can be shaped over time to fit small yards or large estates.
