Green Giant

Green Giant

Green Giant is a great choice for evergreen screening on properties that have the room for it’s wide spread.  From full-sun to partial shade, this coniferous evergreen is hard to beat.  Created by crossing Leyland Cypress and Western Red Cedar, this unique plant combines some of the positive attributes of both of its parents while leaving behind some of the negative traits of Leyland Cypress.

Green Giant is fast-growing with a strong root system which eliminates the problem Leyland Cypress has with its tendency to blow over in storms and heavy ice and snow.  The plants inherited the uniformity of the Western Red Cedar and are more tolerant of bag worms which plaque Leyland Cypress as well.

After its introduction, deer and bag worms largely left Green Giant alone.  Reports are now coming in that indicate the deer are warming up to the taste of Green Giants and some trees have been affected by bagworms, particularly if they are stressed.

That aside, it is a great screening plant and we highly recommend you consider it if you have the room.  Trees can spread 10 or more feet in width at the base and can easily reach 30 foot plus tall.

    Larua W.Chapel Hill, NC

    Thank you so much for the wonderful tree installation you did last October. All 55 trees are doing wonderful and have added an incredible amount of color and variety to my property.

    Chris C.Chapel Hill, NC

    David, we absolutely love the landscape makeover you did for our property. We’ve gone from having an overgrown yard that hid our home to beautiful plantings that complement our house design. Our neighbors love it, too.

    Frank & Debbie R.Raleigh, NC
    We have worked with David on multiple projects. His knowledge, quality of plant material and service are top notch.  
    Chris G.Greensboro, NC

    The 18 foot hollies are amazing. They totally and instantly solved our view problem — rather than looking at a newly constructed commercial building, we now look out on lush green plantings.

    Thomas & Pat B.Apex, NC
    The hollies have done a wonderful job of giving us our valued privacy. We are so very happy. Thank you!
    Chris & TrishaRaleigh, NC
