Thuja Green Giants from Fast Growing Trees Nursery

We are using these plants to become a living fence. We were a little disappointed that they didn't grow as fast the first year as indicated in the ad but now they are starting to take off. We did lose one plant within the first year but the remainder are doing great. All of the plants came well packaged and the instructions were helpful. Most are now starting to fill out and have grown to about five feet from the ground up. Overall, we are pleased and would recommend them.

Thanks Fast Growing Trees Nursery!

We bought 14 of the Thuja Green Giants to screen our pool. All but 2 put on at least a foot of growth. Those 2 grew some, just not as much. The neighbors were astounded! We can't wait for this summer when the real screen begins to develop around the pool.

New, Beautiful Leyland Cypress Evergreens

I saved a fortune buying from Fast Growing Trees instead of the local nursery and my trees look great!

Thuja Green Giants as a Privacy Wall

We are using the Thuja as a screen as we wanted a fence but did not want just a plain wall. The Thuja is beautiful in the spring, summer, and fall with it's greenery and in the winter (4500 ft) still a nice looking plant. Although the Thuja has not grown the 6 ft. per year, I would still recommend this plant to those who are interested in a different kind of fencing.

Very Pleased with my Thujas from Fast Growing Trees Nursery

When I received my 5 trees I didn't have the spot prepared for planting. I had to "heel them in" which I did inside their transport bags by adding peat and keeping them watered for 4 weeks. Once planted (in April) they did great once they were given time to root. Their growth hasn't been much since the summers in Mich. are short and the spot they're planted in is semi-sun. Winter hasn't hurt them, but I'm eager to see how much they grow this coming summer. I'm happy with them so far and feel I should give them more growing time before considering any downside to them.

Sooooo pretty.  They look beautiful - like ballerinas! They even smell wonderful, especially in the rain. Wish they would grow taller faster to hide neighbors!

Thuja Giant Review

I love the tree. It is beautiful, and grows rapidly. I use it to gain privacy, and it is really starting to block out more of my neighbor's house!

Thujas Doing Well in Zone 5 Despite Poor Soil

Bought 45 Thuja Giants as a privacy border nearly 2 years ago. Each plant has thrived and grown nearly 2ft in that time despite my Zone 5 location and very poor soil conditions and with little care. I also tried planting white pine and hybrid willows in the same location. All died. Although I am a bit disappointed at the rate of growth (advertised at 4ft per year), these specimens will thrive and outlast me and my ownership of this property. Hope the next owner appreciates them as much as I.

Fast Growing Trees Nursery Reviews- Thuja Green Giant


I bought these for privacy between my house and the neighbors. I got the 4-6ft trees. They arrived quickly, healthy and ready to plant. I planted 8 of them in June 2009, and they are all still healthy looking. They have only grown 2-3 inches so far, but I chalk that up to them getting established. They have however, filled out since I first planted them. I am very pleased and will most likely order more this spring for the other side of my yard.

So far, so good!

I purchased 9 thuja green giants from Fast Growing Trees Nursery and planted them along a fence in my backyard a little less than a year ago. I ordered 1-2 foot trees and all the trees were at least 1 foot tall. Several were actually a bit taller than 2 feet. They were packed very well and arrived in great condition. They didn't do much the first growing season. They are probably 6 inches taller (a few are up to 12 inches taller) than when they arrived. All 9 are healthy, although they are slightly tinged with brown this winter. I am hoping they take off this year and really start growing.
