Description
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Arrives as young plant
I have been buying from them for several years. Their customer service is excellent. If I have an issue with damage during shipping, etc they never hesitate to work with me promptly. Their plants are typically very healthy.
Have ordered many plants to be shipped to me over the years. These arrived in excellent condition and were taller than expected. Am very pleased with this shopping experience.
I ordered 10 green giants a fantastic prices I wish I had ordered 20 because they are great. Waiting on another fantastic sale so I can get some more.
We did revive our order very quickly. However, upon deliver I thought some must be missing as all 7 were in one box. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I fell for this and ordered these dwarf trees. Definitely not as described. Message was sent to company with no response. They are green but tops are bent down and really skinny with bareness. Consider yourself warned of what you may get.
We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! Once it is more established in your garden, and as it matures, the arborvitae will naturally revive and fill out in shape. All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary.
All are in the ground and seem to be doing well!
