Amber Gold Arborvitae – Thuja occidentalis ‘Jantar’

TheAmber Gold Arborvitaewears a delightful color and texture. It’s a golden-yellow version of the popular Emerald Green Arborvitae that we know and love so well. The Amber Gold blushes an amber tone in cold winters, and turns more-gold in the sun. Shown here with its spring colors on: a wonderful chartreuse green. The narrow, upright shape is great for anchor points in the back of the miniature garden bed, or for larger miniature gardens in containers – it will add some much-needed-height to your design. Note that this new plant is a little faster growing that are usual miniature garden trees but you can shear it to keep it in shape in late winter – it’ll help it stay bushy too. Plant it where you can enjoy a taller tree for a couple/few years, then it will make a terrific tree for your full-sized landscape.
