'Green Giant' is a vigorously growing, pyramidal evergreen with rich green color that remains outstanding throughout hardiness range. It tolerates a wide range of soil and hardiness zones and is not troubled by significant pest or disease problems. 'Green Giant' is ornamentally appealing as a single specimen, as a screen, or as a living frame for your special landscape. Leaves are small, glossy, and scale-like, opposite and arranged in rows of four, overlapping, creating flat sprays akin to the shape of fans. The bark is dark brown and shaggy. Coexisting with birds and small animals, this tree creates places for nesting and flower buds, as well as seeds and foliage for food. Extremely fast growing - at least 2-3 feet a year. Deer resistant.
