❯ Description
The Green Giant cedar is a fast-growing tree that works great as a hedge or as a single specimen. Common applications for this tree include hedging and roadside plantings. Sometimes you will see this tree planted around parking lots as a buffer. The Green Giant is slightly larger and slightly faster-growing than the Excelsa cedar. In spring, new growth emerges a lighter green.
These trees are called giant for a reason. They will grow to a mature height of 50 ft with a base of 12-18 ft. Annual pruning is recommended to allow the tree to take the shape that best suits your needs. The Green Giant tolerates a wide range of soils including clay, loamy, sandy or acidic soils. Good drainage and plenty of sun exposure will help your Giant Green cedar thrive.
