I will reiterate the top comment from last time...

These can grow several feet a year, and it's important to note that how close you plant them will dictate their max growth height.

If planting in rows, you probably want them at least 5 feet apart, and they will reach 20' tall. 8 feet apart will get you 25-30' in height.

These are super low maintenance plants. Water them for a couple weeks when you first plant them and maybe add some fertilizer like Root Rocket, but otherwise they just do their thing. No trimming or anything should be required.

Yeah, there's a guaranteed method that works: cut off the top when it gets taller than 8-10 ft!

Probably not toxic to deer. Those a-holes will eat almost anything.

Yep, looks like they raised the pre-discount minimum from $125 to $175 for the PLANT15 coupon today.

What are the widths/diameters of these? I'd like to plant these as close to my house as possible, with the target height being 20-25ft.
You'd want to plant them 5 feet apart. In this configuration, they would have a radius of about 6 feet from the trunk (12 feet wide in total). I wouldn't plant them closer than 8 feet from your house just to give them some breathing room on the backside and ensure you can get behind them to access that wall of your house if needed. Also good to note that these do not have roots that would damage your foundation.

Thanks I'm in central florida / am looking for privacy fence that will grow fast
Depending on how much space you have, look into the Leyland Cypress. These will be wider than a Green Giant and will grow taller. They would do great in Central Florida and also grow quite quickly, but maybe need a bit more time to fully flesh out in a hedge configuration.

Might also consider a Spartan Juniper if space is at a premium.

Costco usually has a 10 pack for around $80 in the spring and summer for what it's worth

Don't get these trees if you live in DFW area, they will die and you will have an incomplete hedge

If I plant these 2 feet apart will they form a hedge instead of tall trees?

We planted these in Oklahoma. Actually many times, but they never seem to live. I don't know if it is the heat or the wind but man they don't enjoy living.

Try looking at plants from Southern Living, they usually have plants that can take the hotter climates.

fyi Green Giants are very easy to propagate just find some small branches use some root hormone and plunk them in soil - you should have a plant in 3 months.
