Evergreen Thuja occidentalis (Arborvitae)
Color Name: Junior Giant
Thuja 'Junior Giant' is a vigorous, fast-growing evergreen arborvitae known for its dense, upright, pyramidal form. It reaches a mature height of about 15-20 ft with a spread of 8-10 ft, making it ideal for privacy screens, hedges, and foundation plantings. Its rich green foliage retains color year-round, and it requires minimal maintenance while offering excellent winter hardiness.
Growing Tips: Tolerates heat and drought once established. Keep watered after pruning to minimize browning; this is also an effective strategy to minimize winter damage to foliage in cold areas.
Soil: Adaptable in terms of pH; best growth is in moderately moist, cool, fertile soils.
Pruning: Does not strictly require pruning, though it does tolerate it well. Prune in spring before new growth begins.
Uses: Mixed borders; foundation plantings; rock gardens; specimen.
