    If you want to grow Thuja Green Giant in a container, begin with a robust container of 5 to 10 gallons (20-35 liters) to accommodate its early growth. The pot should be much bigger than the plant's root ball to ensure ample space for the root system and prevent it from becoming root-bound. Keep in mind that this tree's rapid growth will require regular repotting into larger containers.
