Thuja Cedar Green Giant,standishii x plicatata', or as we call it the Cedar Green Giant, is one of the most popular (and fast grower - 3 to 5 foot per year) pyramidal shaped evergreen trees. The Thuja Cedar Green Giant are quite flexible with their requirements and will grow in varied soil types as well as varied lighting needs. Hardy in zones 5 to 7, the Green Giants are without serious pest or disease problems and, as noted by the U.S. National Arboretum, an excellent substitute for Leyland cypress.
