Deal Details
$40 when you buy 15 or more. This is an online deal but you will need to go to the store and ask them to honor it. Bought 30 of these and save a few hundreds. These are about 5ft tall and go for $80-$160. Even if you get less than 15 you'll still get a nice deal at $50 per tree.

They have big stickers on them that say "buy 15 get bulk discount". This is the first year I've seen this. Same discount available on the medium sized ones, too.

I wonder if these are just being stocked? Every store within 150 miles of me shows OOS.

It'd not available online but the deal is online, it's definitely meant for you to price match in store. Most plants aren't available for online purchase anyways unfortunately!

I suggest you go to the store in person,it also said OOS for me as well, but they had about 40-50 when I got there.

Yes, you'll have to ask them to price match the online deal.

Same price as last year.
This year the threshold is buy 15 vs 20 last year.

Best to buy and have these delivered (they had Free Delivery when I ordered 56)
Last year was available to order online with this SKU

As for STOCK...
Last year stores in Northeast(LI) were only STARTING to get them in at this point.
I had a tough time finding them(March 31)


If planting a bunch, I would highly recommend adding some drip Irrigation at the same time.
They require LOTS OF WATER the first year.

Also, might as well get the the Jobes Fertilizer spikes

BTW I hired a landscaper to dig and install and it was less than $10 per plant (well worth it)

Not impressed. The thuja Green Giant Arborvitae are the ones you want. The Emerald won't get very wide or tall.
Hard pass for me!

The giants end up looking like crap on small lots.
Lets not forget the extra Maintenence involved if you live where they enforce codes...or worse.

Not impressed? You're talking about 2 different use cases when you bring the thuja green giant arborvitae into the conversation. If you're on the market for a 7 passenger SUV, I'm sure no sports car would impress you regardless of the price, and it'd be a hard pass also!

These are 5Qt not Gallon per their listing. My local Nursery has 5 *Gallon* ones for $28.50/ea (and for a $15fee they'll deliver as many as your want)
Check for a "Thuja occidentalis" or "Thuja 'Emerald Green'" if you don't see them listed as a Arborvitae... Same Plant.

Emerald green work great as a privacy hedge. Just need to get the spacing correct.

Same price last year. I bought about 20 of them. They didn't look great after a couple days though. I happened to be at Home Depot and they had them for the same price but much better looking and taller. I packed them ALL up and returned them to Lowes.

Only issue now is that the deer are eating them all up! I have to figure something out.
