10 Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae 8-12" tall trees

So impressed! We ordered 40 of these seedlings, not sure what to expect in quality. Every single one was healthy, shipped with care, beautiful roots, and hopefully they continue to thrive! I'll try to update with pics of growth if I remember to lol

Very impressed with these trees! I bought and planted 10 of them a year and 4 months ago. The saplings all came in great shape in a secure and moist container. Perfect shipping and handling! I planted them in a row about 5 feet apart. The first four trees in the row get sun all day long, the middle 4 get sun between 6 - 10 hours a day, and the last two get 3 - 5 hours a day. The first 6 months I watered the trees about every other day, unless it rained. I could easily tell if I wasn't watering enough by some branches turning brown during the hot days. This year, I have watered them only during hot stretches with no rain. There has been very little upkeep besides this minimal watering and the mulching around them at the beginning of the season. The trees that get sun all day have grown from the 8 inch sapling to a three foot tall tree with another foot or so shoot coming out the top. This gives the trees a total growth of about 3 and a half feet in the first 16 months. I have no doubt they will be five feet tall early next spring. The trees in the middle that get 6 - 10 hours of sun a day range from two to three feet tall with a shoot just starting to come out of the top on two of them, maybe 5 - 8 inches long. The difference in size based on the amount of sun is very apparent. The last two trees that get 3 - 5 hours of sun a day are doing fine, are green and strong, but have only grown to about 20 inches tall with no shoot. I plan on cutting down some foliage around them to maximize their time in the sun.I give these trees 5 stars and the seller 5 stars. They have definitely performed amazing! I would much rather have spent ~$35 on ten of these saplings and taken care of them for the past year than spend ~$600 to plant trees of the size they are today. Excellent product, excellent value! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to spend a little time to grow some beautiful trees!

Really healthy and bigger than I expected! I'm very happy with this purchase. Thank you so much.

I bought a lot of 25 and a lot of 10 for a total of 25. At the same time I also bought 7 Emerald Green Arborvitae and all 7 are alive and well after 7 months. These 2 lots of 25 and 10 were a little shorter and so I planned on them taking a bit longer to actually be a growing force on my property. While all 7 of the Emerald Green are still alive, not the same story with the 35 Thuja Green Arborvitae. When these were received, there were 4 that were mostly dead on arrival, and I opened them up within minutes of Amazon delivery to my front door. I immediately began watering and placing them in a lighted, semi-sunny window as it was too early in the spring to plant outside. Once risk of frost was gone, I planted these in the same areas I planted the Emerald Green, so some had more sun while some had less sun. We have been having a drought this summer and into the fall, so I watered them all once to twice a week. Early on, I watered a little more often to make sure they established themselves well. After a month in the ground, there were 7 more that were dead, just dried up and brittle brown, dead. So, out of the 24 that were still alive, only 20 made it to 2 months outside. The 3rd through 6th months outside, just counted again a couple days ago, I am left with just 11 alive, and 3 of them are not looking very well with some dead areas on them. I would say that none of the 35 of them are thriving, and there is no pattern of more sun or less sun or more water or less water that would help me know why I only have 11 left alive. Remember, I also bought 7 Emerald Green Arborvitae at the same time and they have received the exact same treatment and all 7 of them are still alive. I checked with several local nurseries to see what kind of arborvitae they were selling and they had both for this area. I also bought insecticide and fungicide and sprayed them starting in their first month outside so I ruled that out. I can say this, that I will not be buying any lots of Thuja Green Arborvitae from this seller again. By the way, the way they were shipped was absolutely ridiculous. They had stapled cardboard all around them to hold in the dirt, but the dirt was everywhere in the packaging and the staples were ridiculous to try and remove so I could get to each arborvitae to plant them.

This order blew my mind because it came to my door within eighteen hours of ordering it! That is an all time record for any amazon order! The little trees are vigorous and exceeded the quoted size, were very well packed, a little bit of a job to get all of the cellophane wrapping off of all of the individual little pots but i'm sure that helped keep them moist and everything safe. This was a much better way to buy these Green Giant trees than the previous ones I had bought elsewhere that were smaller and less expensive. There's no question that these will take off and be more vigorous and survive at a higher rate. I will definitely purchase more from this company if I have any problems with any more from my previous batch. I lost twenty five out of seventy of those.

The 10 Green Giants I got were all alive and well rooted. However, Extremely poor packaging. Many of the plants lost much of their planting soil inside a bag that they were shipped in. The bag was in a box but the the plants inside the bag were not secured. I replanted the plants immediately in a 1 gallon pot for growth. I am expecting them to do Ok. Shipper would have gotten five starts if it wasn't for the packaging.

These trees arrived on time, but took a little while to be shipped, but they were absolutely beautiful. They were so green I had to check to make sure they hadn't been painted. They were surely ready to be repotted out of those small containers they were in but other than that I have absolutely no complaints. I planted them the day I got them, composted, and watered. Right now they look really good... But it's only been a week or so.... Keeping my fingers crossed. I will most definitely be ordering more of these.
