Thuja Green Giant Fertilizer

Established Green Giants can put on three feet or more a year, and Thuja Green Giant Fertilizer is made to support that pace. Feeding supplies the nitrogen for dense new foliage and the nutrients a fast-growing hedge draws down quickly, but growth rate depends on the whole picture: steady feeding from spring through midsummer, deep watering through the first two years while roots establish, full sun and good drainage. Newly planted trees spend their first season on roots and speed up after that.

Every four to six weeks from early spring through midsummer, then stop so your trees harden off before winter. Thuja Green Giant Fertilizer is a liquid, so water it in across the root zone under the whole canopy rather than just at the trunk. For a hedge row, that means the full strip along the planting line, since the roots of neighboring trees knit together and share the ground between them.

Winter burn, drought and root damage from planting too deep are the usual causes, and none of them is a nutrient problem, so start there. Water deeply in dry spells, especially through the first two years, mulch the root zone and check that the root flare sits at soil level. Once your tree is stable, feeding in spring with Thuja Green Giant Fertilizer supports the recovery growth that fills in behind the browned patches. Feeding a stressed tree before fixing the cause adds to its load.

Yes. Thuja Green Giant Fertilizer works at the same dilution in both situations; only the method changes. Use a watering can for container arborvitae and small planting beds, and a hose-end sprayer set to the recommended rate for a hedge row or larger in-ground trees. Potted arborvitae need the routine most, since containers lose nutrients with every watering and the roots have nowhere else to look.

Thuja Green Giant Fertilizer is a dilute liquid feed, and dilution is what matters here. Fertilizer burn happens when concentrated salts sit against the roots: too much product in too little water, or granules piled at the base of a trunk. Mixed at the recommended dilution and applied every four to six weeks across the root zone, the nutrients arrive in solution at a strength the roots take up as they water. Keep to that mix and water it in well; if you ever mix too strong, flush the area with plain water.

Greener foliage and stronger new growth usually show within two to four weeks of consistent feeding, at the tips first, where new shoots come in a deeper green. The result most people want from Thuja Green Giant Fertilizer, a hedge that fills in, builds over the season: height and density come with each flush of growth, and a row that has been hungry keeps improving through the following year as feeding continues.
