Tiny Tower Green Giant Arborvitae

Tiny Tower Green Giant Arborvitae (Thuja x 'MonRig')

Tiny Tower Green Giant Arborvitae gives you the privacy power of a Green Giant style screen in a narrower, more manageable footprint. It grows upright and dense, creating a clean evergreen wall that helps your yard feel calmer and more finished in every season. The rich green foliage stays attractive year-round, so you get dependable structure even when everything else is dormant. If you want a tall screen that fits tighter beds and still looks refined, this plant is built for the job.

Distinctive Features

This vigorous hybrid forms a narrow pyramidal evergreen with tight branching and fine, scale-like sprays that create a full, uniform look from top to bottom. Growth is steady and efficient, often reaching about 18 to 20 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide in 10 years, with the potential to become larger with age if left untrimmed. Foliage is bright to deep green and typically maintains a clean appearance through winter when plants are well-watered and not placed in harsh, drying wind. The overall effect is a slim, vertical screen that provides serious coverage without the bulk of many large evergreens.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun to part shade, with the densest growth usually in brighter exposures.
• Soil: Well-drained soil is ideal, and it adapts to many soil types if drainage is reliable.
• Water: Water regularly during establishment, then provide deep watering during extended dry periods for best density.
• USDA Zones: 5 to 9.
• Spacing: Give plants room for airflow and future width, especially in long runs of screening.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Use one as a tall evergreen focal point to anchor a large bed with a clean, narrow silhouette.
• Screening: Plant in rows for a space-smart privacy screen that fills in quickly and stays dense.
• Hedge: Maintain as a tall hedge where you want a more uniform boundary along property edges.
• Windbreak: Use to reduce wind and create calmer garden and patio spaces behind it.
• Backdrop Planting: Place behind mixed borders to make flowers and lighter foliage colors stand out more.

Low Maintenance Care

• Pruning: Prune lightly in late spring to early summer if shaping is needed, and avoid severe cuts into bare, leafless wood.
• Mulching: Mulch the root zone to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperatures, keeping mulch a few inches off the trunk.
• Watering: Keep moisture steady for the first couple of seasons, then water during drought to prevent thinning.
• Fertilizing: Feed in spring only if growth is weak, using a slow-release evergreen fertilizer according to label directions.
• Winter Care: Brush off heavy, wet snow to reduce branch splay and help maintain the narrow form.
