What is the quickest growing evergreen?
GREEN GIANT ARBORVITAE This hybrid Thuja typically grows 3 feet per year, with some reports circulating of it growing 5 feet in one year! If you need a fast-growing, large, evergreen Arborvitae hedge, Green Giant is a perfect choice. 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.For its size the Emerald Green Arborvitae grows fairly fast. When it is a young tree it can grow 1 to 2 feet per year. As it ages it will grow at a rate between 6 and 12 inches per year.Be warned – it can grow 2m in the first year of planting. It will eventually get to 6m – so allow time for regular frequent clipping to keep it dense and healthy, and allow space for the shade cast by a 6m full-grown hedge.GREEN GIANT ARBORVITAE This hybrid Thuja typically grows 3 feet per year, with some reports circulating of it growing 5 feet in one year!
