Add More Privacy To Your Backyard With Thuja Green Giant Trees
By MIMI MFUNDISI
If you want to enjoy some privacy in your yard, Thuja Green Giant trees are a natural solution, as they grow tall in lush and dense pyramids with small fanning leaves that overlap.
Plant them in a row with 5 to 6 feet of space between each tree. For a full privacy screen, plant them in two rows with the second row placed at a diagonal to cover the gaps.
Thuja Green Giants can grow an average of 5 feet per year, which means they can be fully mature at 40-60 feet tall within 10 years. With good care, they can live up to 40 years.
The plants need the majority of their care in the first six months but are self-sufficient beyond that. They adapt easily to the ecosystem and are resistant to pests and weather.
