Thuja Cedar Green Giant,standishii x plicatata', or as we call it the Cedar Green Giant, is one of the most popular (and fast grower - 3 to 5 foot per year) pyramidal shaped evergreen trees. The Thuja Cedar Green Giant are quite flexible with their requirements and will grow in varied soil types as well as varied lighting needs. Hardy in zones 5 to 7, the Green Giants are without serious pest or disease problems and, as noted by the U.S. National Arboretum, an excellent substitute for Leyland cypress.

The Cedar Green Giants in our own landscape have grown in areas of full sun to partial shade. A long lived plant, the Cedar Green Giant will mature in the 60 foot tall height range with a 12 to 20 foot wide spread. Cedar Green Giants are the first choice for evergreen screens or specimen plants in home and commercial landscapes.
This very rare hybrid between Western Red Cedar plicata and Thuja Standishii Cedar, once established, generally average 3 to 5 feet of growth per year! Elegant and uniform, Cedar Green Giant's conical habit needs no shearing or pruning, and is cloaked in dense, dark, evergreen foliage clear to the ground - a stunning choice for a private screen.
Will enhance property values while screening unsightly areas year-around. And this is a tough, easy plant to grow, tolerating almost any soil and resistant to damage from ice and snow.
Cedar Green Giant is able to withstand drought well, exhibiting no significant pest or disease problems, and is highly deer and bagworm resistant!
Cedar Green Giant will become the outstanding alternative screening-evergreen to the disease prone Leyland Cypress in the south and to the Hemlocks that are dying throughout New England.
