Thuja occidentalis 'Rheingold'

Position: full sun to partial shade

Slowly forming a dense cone-shaped mound of golden foliage, which emerges with a pink flush in spring, this attractive evergreen provides year-round interest. Use it as a stand alone specimen in the garden, or incorporate it into the borders where it will act as an attractive backdrop, while adding structural interest.
Garden care: Trim, if necessary, in spring and again in late summer to maintain a neat shape. When young, protect from cold, drying winds.
