“Green Giant” is a smaller variety of the commonly known, Cedar, and is grown for its textured foliage. It bears sprays of glossy, dark green foliage held on slender stems. The result is a tree with a somewhat layered appearance. It grows densely with a narrow habit to about 12 m tall and 3 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this evergreen are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It will tolerate frost, cool climates, coastal environments, and short periods of dry. “Green Giant” is commonly grown as a specimen, used as a screen, planted as a backdrop for smaller plants, or trimmed into a hedge. This is a low maintenance plant that is very forgiving with great aesthetics.
