This time of year while winter is still fresh in your customer’s minds many of you are receiving calls for screening. Green Giant Arborvitae (Thuja plicata ‘Green Giant’) seems to be the one many of you are looking for as it is a fast growing
Arborvitae that has proven to be quite deer resistant. Certain sizes, especially the smaller/medium sizes, have become difficult to source. During the economic downturn many growers weren’t able to line out large quantities of product in the fields due to financial constraints. Fast forward to 2015 and the result is a limitation on availability, especially Green Giant Arborvitae in those smaller sizes.
That said, we do have a good supply of 10/12′ Green Giants available at the moment in Newtown, but they’re going fast so stop in soon or give the sales lines a call. There are also good numbers in Thuja occidentalis ‘Emerald Green’ and ‘Nigra’ (Dark American).
