'Green Giant' puts on three feet a year and builds a dense, deer-resistant evergreen wall without the disease headaches of Leyland cypress.
'Green Giant' arborvitae is the modern standard for fast privacy screening, growing three to five feet per year into a tight pyramid of rich green foliage that holds color through winter. Compared with Leyland cypress it is noticeably more disease-resistant, more deer-resistant, and better anchored against wind and ice, though slightly narrower and a touch slower to fill at the very bottom. Space plants five to eight feet apart for a solid screen. Shipped in a 6" Starter Pot, well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.

Shipping Policy
Everything at Wade Greens is grown and packed by hand at our farm and nursery in Lineville, Alabama. How an order travels depends on what's in it.
Where we ship
Plants, trees, bulbs, and merchandise ship anywhere in the lower 48 United States — houseplants, succulents, garden plants, saplings, flower bulbs, and apparel. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, P.O. boxes, or international addresses.
Fresh produce, microgreens, and cut flowers are available for local delivery and pickup in Alabama only. Because these items are perishable and picked at peak freshness, we do not ship them outside Alabama. You'll find our fresh items at local farmers markets and through local delivery and farm pickup.
Processing & handling
Orders are prepared fresh, so please allow 1–3 business days for us to pack and dispatch. Live plants and perishable items ship early in the week whenever possible to avoid sitting in transit over a weekend. You'll receive tracking by email as soon as your order is on its way.
Live plants & perishable items
Our plants are living things and are packed with care to travel safely. Minor leaf drop or a little travel stress is normal and typically resolves within a week or two of settling in. If a plant arrives damaged, email us within 48 hours of delivery with a photo and we'll make it right. Fresh produce, microgreens, and cut flowers are best enjoyed soon after delivery or pickup — please refrigerate on arrival.
Local delivery & pickup
Local Alabama customers can choose delivery or farm pickup at checkout on eligible items. We'll reach out to coordinate a time. Pickup is at our Lineville, Alabama farm.
