Growing & Maintenance Tips for Thuja 'Green Giant'

Plant in well-draining soil and water it regularly, especially during the first year, to help establish a strong root system. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance, but occasional pruning is recommended to shape the tree and encourage thicker growth. Additionally, applying mulch around the base helps retain moisture and prevent weeds.
