Thuja plicata x standishii PPAF 61830744 ‘Virginian™’
An improved variety of the Thuja Green Giant, the Baby Giant offers a number of one-of-a-kind benefits that set it apart, starting with improved winter color for year-round greenery (which is less susceptible to browning and yellowing). It's also adaptable, growing in a compact size that makes it the perfect choice as a privacy hedge for homeowners with smaller yards.

Planting and Care Tips
Plant
Set the Baby Giant Arborvitae in well-draining soil with the root ball level to the ground, spacing 4–5 feet apart for a hedge or screen; water thoroughly after planting to help roots establish.
Feed
No fertilizer is necessary for the Baby Giant Arborvitae to thrive.
Water
Water your tree weekly for the first year, more frequently if there is a drought. Once established, your Baby Giant will thrive on regular rainfall alone.
Prune
Lightly trim in late spring or early summer to shape and remove any damaged branches, avoiding cuts into old wood since it does not regrow.
Exposure
Baby Giant Arborvitaes grow best in a combination of full sun with partial shade (around 6 hours of direct sunlight daily).
