North Florida Growing Note: Green Giant Arborvitae needs good drainage in our hot, humid climate. Avoid planting it in low areas or consistently wet soil. A layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and keep the root system cooler, but keep mulch several inches away from the trunk.

Planting Note: For a solid privacy screen, plant Green Giant Arborvitae 5–8 feet apart. Closer spacing creates a screen sooner, while wider spacing gives each tree more room to develop naturally. Do not plant directly beneath power lines because these trees can become very tall.
