Will Thuja Standishii x plicata (Green Giant) Stand up to Deer

dorothyz6
14 years ago

Hi all,

I'm interested in planting a row of Thuja Green Giant in my suburban Boston landscape as a screen between me and my neighbors. Having lived in Somerset County, NJ for 10 years I know deer are a big problem. They are here as well, but for the most part during the winter/early spring months only. Green Giants are reputed to be deer resistant, but I'm hoping I can get some "real world" advice. If anyone has planted them, how are they holding up to deer browsing?

Thanks so much!
