Choose the Right Spot
The Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae thrives in full sun conditions. It prefers well-drained soil but can tolerate a variety of soil types.
Measure the Space

Dig the Hole
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Ensure the hole is well-drained to prevent root rot.
Plant It
Carefully place the root ball in the hole, ensuring the top is level with the ground. Fill the hole with soil, tamping firmly to remove air pockets.

Water the newly planted Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae deeply after planting. Continue to water regularly, especially during dry periods, to ensure proper root establishment.
Mulch and Care
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the tree, keeping it away from the trunk to prevent rot. Water regularly, especially during the first year, to maintain soil moisture.

Watering
Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Aim for deep, infrequent watering to encourage healthy root development.
Mulching
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the tree, keeping it away from the trunk. Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots.
Sunlight
The Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae thrives in full sun conditions. Ensure it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Soil
Plant in well-drained soil to prevent root rot. The Arborvitae is adaptable to various soil types, but prefers slightly acidic soil.
Pruning
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the tree.
Monitoring
Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, and address any issues promptly. Regular inspections will help you catch problems early.
Winter Care
Protect young trees from harsh winter conditions with burlap or a frost blanket. Ensure adequate moisture during dry winter spells.
When It Arrives
Upon arrival, thoroughly water the Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae to ensure the root ball is fully hydrated. This will help the tree acclimate to its new environment and promote healthy growth.
During the First Year
Water the newly planted Arborvitae deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods. Aim for 1 inch of water per week, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
After the First Year
Reduce watering frequency to once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions. Established trees are more drought-tolerant but still require regular moisture.
Extra Tips
Check the soil moisture regularly by inserting your finger about 2-3 inches deep. If the soil feels dry, it’s time to water. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
When It Arrives
Avoid fertilizing the Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae immediately upon arrival. Allow the tree to establish itself before providing additional nutrients.
During the First Year
Refrain from fertilizing the Arborvitae during its first growing season. Focus on proper watering and care to promote healthy root development.
After the First Year
Apply a balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10 or 15-15-15, in early spring or late fall. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application rates and avoid applying fertilizer directly to the trunk.
Extra Tips
Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to root burn and other problems. Consider using a slow-release fertilizer for consistent nutrient delivery.
Pruning Time
Prune the Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. This timing allows the tree to heal and recover before the growing season.
Pruning Steps
Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Start by making a small cut on the underside of the branch, followed by a larger cut above the desired pruning point.
Shape the Tree
Lightly prune the sides of the Arborvitae to maintain its desired shape and density. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the tree.
Clean Up
Remove any clippings and debris from the base of the tree. Proper cleanup will help prevent pests and diseases.
