Amber Gold Arborvitae - Thuja occidentalis 'Jantar'

The Amber Gold Arborvitae wears 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. 

Spring '25 - latest batch are about half the size of the photos and very cute.
