Create the ultimate natural privacy barrier with America's fastest-growing evergreen hedge solution. The Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae is a vigorous, award-winning evergreen conifer that has become the number one choice for living privacy fences, quickly beating out Leyland Cypress as the most popular screening tree. This exceptional fast-growing evergreen has become extremely popular for their fast growth rate and hardy nature, these attractive arborvitae have quickly beat out Leyland Cypress as the number one choice for living fences. With its dense columnar-pyramidal habit and dark green sprays of small, glossy, scale-like needles that retain their deep green color through the winter and can grow 3 to 4 feet per year in optimal conditions, the Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae transforms ordinary property lines into majestic green walls that provide year-round privacy. The low-branching, dense columnar-pyramidal habit along with resistance to most diseases, insects, periodic droughts, and deer create dependable screening performance while requiring minimal maintenance once established.

Why You'll Love the Thuja Green Giant

Impressive Growth & Size: Growing 40-60 feet tall and 10-15 feet wide with growth rates of 3 to 4 feet per year in optimal conditions makes this the perfect choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, specimen plantings, and large property boundaries.

Fast Privacy Results: Plant one every 5 to 6 feet and they quickly create a dense barrier with spacing them 8-10 feet apart recommended for areas with more room, and will still provide privacy and height. These fast-growing hedges thrive in heat and humidity with superior establishment rates.

Outstanding Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 5-8, showing a high tolerance for a variety of climatic conditions and resists most diseases, insects, periodic droughts, and deer. Once established, these evergreens provide reliable year-round performance.

Versatile Growing Conditions: A low-maintenance landscaping choice due to its hardiness and grows in almost any soil, even sandy loam or heavy clays - perfect for property owners wanting rapid privacy establishment with minimal ongoing care.

Great sunscreen!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My kids used to hate putting sunscreen on, but with this one they do it without complaining. The light green color makes it easy to see, and the roll-on design is super simple for kids to use. They actually enjoy it. It feels like they’re painting their face and body, which makes it fun. The only downside is that it leaks a little.

Good protection, easy to tell where it was applied
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Putting sunscreen on kids can be a struggle. This product does many things well: easy to put on, no stinging eyes or coughing like there is with spray, provides good coverage, lasts a long time while sweating, and blocks sun well. But the really cool part is it goes on blue initially (dries clear/slightly white). This is helpful when my little one puts on his own sunscreen because it makes it easier to see the spots he missed (usually many) and helps ensure he fills in the gaps. Also great for the adults - I used it on vacation when I ran out of mine and it worked very well (great if you have arm hair too - not as sticky as many others)

Nice sunscreen, not very blue
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Rolls on/spreads very nicely. Not too sticky and my toddler doesn’t mind it the way she does most other sunscreens. Seems to protect well. It’s fun “blue” color is extremely faint and the product itself is closer to cloud white than sky blue. I would imagine it would barely show up at all on darker skin tones but still not complaining as she is letting me apply it despite the absence of the ‘finger painting’ I had tried to get her excited for.

Great sunscreen
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Fantastic. My kids love this product. I love that I can see where I applied, and then the blue tint completely disappears after rubbing it in. I just hope it doesn’t have some weird chemicals to accomplish this effect. It also doesn’t seem to burn their eyes.
