The superb, low-maintenance Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae can be used for a variety of purposes in the landscape. With characteristics that outperform both of its parents, Green Giant is a hybrid of Thuja plicata (Western Red cedar) and Thuja standishii (Japanese Arborvitae). It thrives in a larger region, the USDA hardiness zones 5 through 8, which encompasses more southern states than the range of other Arborvitae types. Due of its resistance to heat and humidity, Green Giant is a fantastic plant for gardens in the southern United States. VIsit: www.coniferkingdom.com/thuja-x-green-giant-green-giant-arborvitae/
