Description
Thuja occidentalis Janed Gold forms a dense, narrow evergreen cone with yellow-gold scale foliage in every season. It reaches about 1.5 to 2.5 meters tall and 0.5 to 1 meter wide, making it suited to hedges, screens, containers, and architectural planting.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-drained soil. Full sun strengthens the golden color. Water regularly while roots establish, mulch the root zone, and fertilize before new growth begins in spring. Routine pruning is seldom needed.
This plant is harmful if eaten and can cause a skin allergy.
