Thuja Green Giants often struggle to grow and survive in Texas, due to temperature and soil conditions…fyi
They struggle up North too....bought them because of the 15' per year claim. Almost all at this size died, the ones that did survive barely grew at all and are still struggling. Supposedly the first year they grow the root system, the joke at home is they look smaller than when we planted them. The tall ones at aprox. 6' are not doing that great either, the tops grew but the rest of the tree yellowed and lost a lot of branch leaves.
Too risky to plant trees of this size. Wait a few years and it doesn't grow well then what? You lost a few years of time and time is money. So get bigger ones.

I got the bigger ones too. Thought that if they were deer resistant they would do well, never thought about rutting season. They destroyed (scraped) all that were planted out in the open, destroyed my willow trees too. You need to cage them for a long time...like forever maybe.
Transport is important also, if you lay the larger ones down, use a machine bucket or just handle them roughly, it damages the branches and after a while they yellow and die.
