Green giant arborvitae is a vigorously growing pyramidal evergreen with rich green color that remains outstanding throughout its hardiness zone of 5 thru 9, withstanding temperatures to minus 15 degrees with excellent resistance to damage from ice, snow and wind as well as bagworm, deer and most other pests and diseases. Making this tree an excellent landscape choice.

Remaining thick and full to the ground with a spread of 12 to 20 feet reaching heights of up to 60 feet with 30 to 50 feet being most common.
