At Thuja Gardens, we have conducted trials on many varieties of small thuja arborvitae trees. Unfortunately, none proved successful due to poor root systems, with one variety growing only about 12 inches per year. This semi-dwarf Thuja Tree possesses nearly all the characteristics that contributed to the popularity of the Thuja Green Giant, growing exclusively to heights of 12 to 15 feet and widths of 4 to 5 feet. Yearly growth of 2 to 3 feet and hard to tell apart from the Green Giant.
