Thuja Green Giant Tree Care
Planting: The tree is a large
landscape tree and as such, requires a bit of planning before planting. First,
measure the area where you would like to plant your hedge or row. You will need
the length of the area of planting to estimate the number of trees you need.
When planting, dig a hole for each
tree that is 3 times as wide as the root ball but just as deep. You don’t need
to add anything to the planting hole. Place the tree, fill in around the tree
with the same soil you took out when initially digging the hole. Finally, tamp
down as you fill to cut back on any air pockets from forming, water the tree, and
then mulch to conserve moisture.
Watering requirement: For the first 2
weeks, water your new Thuja Green Giant tree every other day by holding a hose
around it and counting to 20. If you don’t have a hose, two large watering cans
full of water will do (smaller trees may only need a light soaking so a single
can may suffice).
During the second two weeks, switch
to watering every 3 days with the same method mentioned above. After the first
month, water once a week unless it is dry and hot (no rain and temperatures
above eighty degrees). If it is hot and dry, water twice a week. After the
first 6 months, the Thuja Green Giant tree will be established and won’t need
any extra water. Your natural rainfall should be sufficient at this stage.
Fertilizer requirement: For optimal
growth feed your Thuja ‘Green Giant’ tree with a balance evergreen tree and
shrub fertilizer starting in the spring.
Pruning the tree: You won’t have to
prune this tree if you are growing it with enough space for it to maintain its
naturally graceful pyramid shape. If you’re growing several close together as a
hedge, you can shear the plants yearly after the final frost.
