Polar Gold® Arborvitae (Thuja)

Polar Gold naturally grows with a narrow, space-saving habit. New growth emerges a cheerful glowing gold color, which persists year-round. It is native to North America. It's a classic choice for hedges and screening, but also make excellent specimen plants, additions to perennial borders or other gardens, or even in containers for an evergreen accent.

Polar Gold reaches 12-15 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide at maturity. It is hardy in zones 3-7, plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily). Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer.

Little to no pruning is required. If you do wish to prune, do so in late spring/early summer, after the new growth has emerged. Avoid cutting into any very thick stems unless you are removing them entirely, as this can leave an unsightly hole in the plant and recovery from such cuts is typically slow. 

1 gallon shrubs are 6-24 inches tall at shipment and quart shrubs are 5-8 inches tall at shipment depending on the season and plant.
