I see where the Thuja Green Giant is grown from cuttings. Has any one
tried this? Can you take a cutting and grow a new one? Would
appreciate any suggestions on the method if any one has had success.
Thanks

My (limited) understanding is that this Thuja is quite easy to propagate
via cuttings. A quick google for "propagate thuja" (without quotes) turns
up quite a few articles -- one of these is

This variety is a hybrid and that means that every one that you see for
sale in a nursery has been hand propagated by someone and that makes me
believe that they really must be one of the easy varieties.
