What is the fast-growing evergreen tree?
What are the fastest growing evergreen trees for privacy? Thuja green giant is the number one choice in fast-growing privacy trees. At a rapid growth rate of 3 to 5 feet per year, that is no surprise. We carry a number of fast-growing evergreens, which are defined as growing at least two feet or more per year—but evergreens that are part of the arborvitae family, like the thuja green giant and emerald green, are known some of the fastest growers, making them incredibly versatile in the landscape.
What’s the best time to plant evergreens?
Planting evergreens and other trees in the fall allow the tree to establish roots underground before spring arrives. In the spring, plants and trees are focused on growth above ground and on producing new leaves or needles. Unlike deciduous trees and shrubs, evergreens hold on to their foliage in wintertime, and it’d be really hard for them to establish their roots and preserve their needles’ moisture levels with a limited water supply in winter.
