Thuja 'Junior Giant'

from $75.50

Thuja ‘Junior Giant’ is a compact, fast-growing arborvitae selected from Green Giant for smaller spaces. It keeps the same rich green color and dense, pyramidal screen—just at a more manageable size.

Key features

  • Form & size: Tight, pyramidal evergreen; typically 15–20 ft tall × 5–8 ft wide (slower and smaller than ‘Green Giant’).

  • Growth rate: Fast (about 1–2 ft/yr in good conditions).

  • Foliage: Soft, fan-like sprays; holds deep green through winter.

  • Light: Full sun to light shade (full sun = densest hedge).

  • Soil & water: Adaptable, best in well-drained, evenly moist soil; tolerates heat/humidity once established.

  • Hardiness: USDA Zones 5–8.

  • Uses: Privacy screens, windbreaks, tall foundation accents; good where ‘Green Giant’ would outgrow the site.

  • Care: Low-maintenance; light shearing keeps a tight hedge.

  • Resistance: Generally deer-resistant compared to many arborvitae (protection still wise in heavy browse areas).

  • All plants come with a regular black nursery pot

  • Please note: The images shown are for illustrative purposes only. While we strive to provide accurate representations, the actual product you receive may differ slightly in appearance due to variations in stock or natural characteristics.
