Baby Giant Arborvitae Tree - Thuja

Baby Giant Arborvitae Tree (Thuja)

The Baby Giant Arborvitae is a refined, space-saving version of the classic Thuja Green Giant, delivering all the architectural beauty in a more compact form. When you buy Baby Giant Arborvitae online from Florida Plant Nursery, you receive a healthy, well-established tree shipped directly to your door with an intact root system. This elegant evergreen maintains striking deep green foliage year-round and resists browning during cold winters, making it an exceptional choice for homeowners seeking low-maintenance landscaping solutions.

Landscaping Uses

Plant Baby Giant Arborvitaes in rows to establish a privacy screen or windbreak that filters views while allowing sunlight through your landscape. Its narrow, columnar silhouette and refined shape complement modern and traditional gardens alike. Space trees at least 3 feet apart in areas with full sun and good drainage, positioning them where they'll receive around 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. This tree works equally well as a focal point specimen or as part of a living wall to shield your yard from wind and neighboring properties.

Planting & Care

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and equally deep, then position your tree in well-draining soil. Add a mulch layer around the base to suppress weeds and conserve moisture. Water consistently each week during the first growing season; once your tree establishes itself, natural rainfall typically provides sufficient hydration except during extended dry spells. This tree requires no ongoing pruning or disease management—simply plant it and enjoy years of beautiful, carefree growth.
