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.
Junior Giant may not be suitable for harsh winter climates. As with some other arborvitaes, we suggest spring to early summer planting so the roots have enough time to get established before any harsh, drying winter winds develop. We also suggest no fertilizer after mid-summer to avoid promoting new growth in late summer and fall. Given the reported hardiness concerns, we recommend trialing before committing.
