Green Giant Arborvitae on 3:1 Slope: Planting Protocol

Green Giants on 3:1 slope (3 ft horizontal : 1 ft vertical). Owner asks suitability, staking, special planting.

Slope Planting

Well-suited—roots stabilize slope.
Hole: 2× root ball, backfill topsoil.
Remove burlap/wire.
Mulch 3″, off trunk.
No staking needed.

Water carefully—slope sheds water. Basin or berm on downhill side helps infiltration.
