Directions for Planting and Care

Planting and caring for your Thuja Green Giant is a simple process, ensuring your landscape becomes an elegant, lush privacy screen in no time:

Planting

Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny area with well-drained soil. The Thuja Green Giant thrives with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil drains well. If needed, amend heavy or clay-like soil with compost to improve drainage.

Dig the Hole: Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and as deep as the root system.

Plant the Tree: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root ball is level with the ground. Gently break up the root system before placing it in the hole.

Backfill and Water: Fill the hole with native soil, pressing lightly to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly to settle the soil and provide moisture for the roots.

Care

Watering: After planting, water regularly, especially during dry spells. Use a slow hose to water deeply for at least an hour.

Pruning: Thuja Green Giant needs minimal pruning. Simply remove any dead limbs to maintain a clean, healthy tree.

Fertilization: Fertilize three times a year for healthy growth, but be careful not to over-fertilize.
