Expect to wait a really long time to get privacy for these sized trees. I bought 6' tall ones 3 years ago, planted them 4 ft apart as recommended and still not even close to a privacy fence. They are close to 12ft tall now. Probably 2 more years I'm guessing it'll take to get complete privacy. So for these 1-2' ones, I'm guessing it would take 7-10 years probably.

The trees definitely grow height wise quickly, the issue is they are much thinner on top, so you do get privacy 4 ft or lower when they're 10 feet tall, but wide open spaces on everything above 4 ft high. I'm in NY btw so ymmv

if you want a healthy, strong growing tree that wont be semi stunted for the first couple years, buy local. trees grown in california are going to take a while to adjust to growing in the northeast, etc. high mortality rate, etc. price looks good till you factor in all of that.

I planted 20 - 5' arborvitae from costco in 2010 and they make a thick fence now. I lost 2 along the way, but have filled in the gaps. At the time, they were $20 each, now I believe they are $30, and you have to get them quick, because they sell out fast.

I've never seen green giant arborvitaes at Walmart in my area. Emerald Green arborvitaes? Definitely

From personal experience, these don't survive in North Texas regardless of what the map says. Yes, bought them at Walmart -- 4 to 6 feet tall for around $40 each a few years ago.

Wonder if these would survive in Southern Maine. Looks like we are right on the edge of the zone.

Thuja Green Giant is a durable evergreen tree that will grow 3-5 ft per year with little to no maintenance.

Nope. No way no how.
Trees like this will take 2 years to get comfortable before they max out their growth rate.
Even though these grow quickly, you're talking maybe five feet at two years… in ideal situations.
Even moisture and a good amount of sun will speed these along though.

You have good, native options for evergreens in Maine. Use those. These are for generic landscapes, especially in areas where the native evergreens are pines or raggedy-ass junipers. People unsuspectingly plant them and they last a few years until one good droughty, hot summer burns them up and you have a privacy break of ugly ass brown trees.
