A fast-growing privacy screen with the lush, dense green of 'Green Giant' arborvitae, scaled down for smaller yards.

The Junior Giant Thuja (Thuja standishii x plicata 'Junior Giant') is a fast-growing evergreen with soft, flat sprays of rich green foliage held in a tidy pyramidal form. It puts on quick height while topping out at a manageable 15-20 feet tall and 12-15 feet wide, making it the screening conifer of choice when you want a full, living wall without the towering scale of a full-size arborvitae. Plant a single specimen as a year-round accent, or set several in a row for a dense privacy hedge or windbreak.

Why growers choose the Junior Giant Thuja

• Fast privacy. A quick growth rate fills a screen in just a few seasons, so you stop looking at the neighbors and start enjoying your yard sooner.
• Year-round green. Dense, soft-textured evergreen foliage holds its color through all four seasons, giving you structure and screening even in the depth of winter.
• Right-sized habit. At a mature 15-20 ft tall and 12-15 ft wide, it screens effectively without overwhelming a smaller property the way larger conifers can.
• Tough and adaptable. Hardy in zones 6-9 and happy in full to part sun, it tolerates a range of soils once established and shrugs off heat and humidity.
• Low maintenance. A naturally neat pyramidal shape means it needs little pruning to look its best, and it responds well to shearing if you want a more formal hedge.

Use it where you need a reliable evergreen backbone: a property-line privacy hedge, a windbreak along an exposed edge, a green backdrop for a planting bed, or a single handsome specimen near a corner of the house. Spaced in a row, several plants knit together into a continuous, soft-green screen.
