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.
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
