Green Valley™ Arborvitae

Selected from hundreds of Western red cedar seedlings, Green Valley™ Arborvitae stands out for its smaller, slower‑growing stature and strong disease tolerance, a superb choice when you want an Arborvitae screening shrub with a refined footprint. Think of it as a more compact, controlled cousin to ‘Green Giant’: the look and presence of an arborvitae tree without the runaway size. This slow‑growing Arborvitae forms a dense, upright pyramid that reads polished and architectural in every season.

Why Choose Green Valley™

• Right‑sized screening: Reaching 10–12 ft. in roughly 10 years and maturing to 15–20′ × 6–8′, Green Valley delivers privacy without overwhelming the garden.
• Dependable structure: Tight branching and evergreen density make an elegant living wall, wind buffer, or backdrop for seasonal color.
• Resilient performer: Bred and selected for disease tolerance and adaptability from full sun to part shade.

Hedges, Screens & Fire‑Wise Design: For a clean, year‑round screen, plant a Green Valley Arborvitae row along property lines, patios, or pool spaces. With thoughtful siting and maintenance, it can be part of a fire‑resistant privacy hedge in fire‑wise designs—keep plants well‑spaced, irrigated during drought, and free of ladder fuels. Whether you need one specimen arborvite tree anchoring a corner or a line of green valley trees forming a boundary, the natural symmetry delivers instant order.

Planting & Spacing

• Soil: Average, well‑drained soil is ideal; avoid spots that stay soggy.
• Spacing for a hedge: Set 5–6 feet on center for a fast knit; widen to 6–8 feet if you prefer individual silhouettes.
• Mulch: 2–3 inches of mulch conserves moisture and moderates soil temperature (keep mulch a few inches off trunks).

Care Basics

• Water: Keep evenly moist the first season, then water deeply but less frequently; this encourages deeper roots and better drought endurance.
• Feeding: In early spring, a light application of a balanced, slow‑release fertilizer supports steady growth.
• Pruning: Minimal. Tip‑shear after the spring flush only if you want crisper lines; avoid cuts into old wood that lacks green growth.

Sun, Cold & Heat: Green Valley thrives in full sun to partial shade. Its broad spartan‑like hardiness range (USDA 5a–9b) means it handles winter chill and Southern heat well when established. In exposed winter sites, a final deep watering before the ground freezes helps reduce desiccation.

When you want the look of a classic arborvitae tree with a manageable, slow‑growing habit, plant Green Valley™ Arborvitae. Its controlled mature size, steady pace, and handsome form make an effortless, all‑season solution for hedges, narrow screens, and tidy evergreen structure across the landscape.
