Thuja Green Giant if anyone is wondering.

I bought most of mine through them and they came in very good shape and all survived. I bought the 1-2 feet. For anyone planting these for the 1st time, make sure to space them out properly as they get huge.


I bought them around 5-6 years ago. Will add a picture of them when I finish work later

Edit: I'm not able to attach a picture for some reason, but they are between 15-17 feet now

BBB means nothing. I've purchased from them a few times and referred them to a couple people, and none of us had any issues. Maybe we all got lucky

We have some and while I don't think they are a deer's first choice for food if they are hungry enough, they will eat anything. One of the trees had some deer activity a while back, but they seem to favor just a lot of other things we have!

Deer demolished half of mine, but not the other half which were just a few more feet each to walk, so who knows!

Bought a half dozen . I'd like to initially plant them each in a small 2 cup size container, get them going and then plant them in the fall in their perm spot. Any recommendations on initially planting?

Have bought from fast growing trees before. No issues with their product and even had to make a warranty claim on one that died and one that a dear mangled. Both replaced no problem. That being said, I just bought a few of these that are 5-6 ft for $60 each at Home Depot but FGT wants $280 (after discount) for a 5-6 footer? Hard pass.

These are very hardy and grow fast in general, but the tiny ones have to be cared for until they develop good roots. And must protect from deer, unfortunately.

Are you reviewing a different deal for 5-6 footers? OP posted 1-2 feet at about $8.50 each
