The Virginian™ Arborvitae is a new, enhanced variety of the Thuja Green Giant. It has all the hardiness, rapid growth, and dependability of the original plant, but on a smaller, more densely packed plant with elegant, somewhat pendulous juvenile stems. It is the best option when you want a lovely, dense evergreen but not one as large as Thuja Green Giant. Use it for foundation planting, natural screens, or trimmed hedges.
