Tiny Tower Green Giant Arborvitae - 5 Gallon
- Refined, columnar Green Giant sport—naturally tight, upright habit with soft, lively green foliage.
- Space‑saving screen: about 18–20 ft. tall × 4–5 ft. wide in 10 years; ideal where height is needed without width.
- Easy‑care and waterwise once established; adaptable to many soils with good drainage.
- Thrives in full sun (USDA Zones 5–9); excellent for privacy hedges, windbreaks, or large containers.
Tiny Tower Green Giant Arborvitae (Thuja × ‘MonRig’, PP27,067) delivers the beloved vigor and reliability of ‘Green Giant’ in a slimmer, more compact silhouette. Its dense, fine‑textured sprays stay richly green and neatly columnar with minimal pruning—perfect for narrow property lines, courtyard screens, and elegant foundation accents. Plant in full sun and well‑drained soil; after establishment, it asks for only occasional deep watering to maintain its crisp, year‑round structure.
Plant Description
A compact, upright selection of Green Giant with naturally tidy, columnar growth and soft, vibrant green foliage. Forms a uniform living wall or a refined vertical accent without constant shearing.
Foliage & Habit
Fine‑textured, scale‑like sprays remain richly green through the seasons; foliage is soft to the touch and holds a tight, architectural outline.
Sun Requirements
Full sun (6+ hours/day) for best density and color; tolerates light afternoon shade but stay brightest and most compact in open exposures.
Watering Needs
Water deeply and regularly during the first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system; once established, reduce frequency—water when the top ~2 inches of soil are dry.
Soil Requirements
Adapts to a wide range of soil types provided drainage is good. Avoid poorly drained or chronically wet sites. Mulch 2–3 inches deep to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature (keep mulch off the trunk).
Growth & Size
Slow growing; typically reaches about 18–20 ft. tall and 4–5 ft. wide in 10 years, maintaining a slim footprint for tight hedges and narrow beds.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 5–9.
Special Features
Easy‑care, waterwise once established, compact form, and beneficial cover for birds. Naturally holds a neat shape with minimal touch‑up.
Landscape Uses
Narrow privacy screens and windbreaks, backdrop at the rear of borders, formal alleés, and statement containers flanking entries or patios.
Care Instructions
Feed with a general‑purpose fertilizer in early spring. Prune only to refine lines or remove any wayward shoots—most sites require little or no shearing due to its naturally tight habit.
Spacing & Screening
For a fast, solid hedge, plant 4–5 ft. on center; in formal designs, align spacing to architectural axes and maintain consistent distances for symmetry.
Design Tips
Pair with hydrangeas, roses, daylilies, spirea, and barberries to contrast fine evergreen texture with seasonal flowers; repeat columns rhythmically to guide the eye and frame outdoor rooms.
