Thuja occidentalis Polar Gold® is a showy, gold-tinged arborvitae cultivar from Proven Winners that produces colorful, golden-yellow tinged foliage that's especially bright amongst the new growth. Similar to the striking golds hues produced by cultivars like Highlights™, Polar Gold® is an excellent way to add additional color to any landscape in the form of a narrow, upright, evergreen tree that reaches 10-15' in height, with a tight pyramidal spread of only 4-6'. Scaly, fragrant foliage holds its color in almost any condition, and a smaller footprint makes this cultivar a good choice for small spaces and foundation plantings.

Native to a variety of locations in full sun and part shade through much of the eastern United States, Thuja occidentalis is a great native selection for specimen plantings as well as privacy screens or borders. Thuja occidentalis Polar Gold® is resistant to black walnut soils, perpetually wet ground, and deer browsing, and acts as a valuable source of food and shelter to butterfly and moth larvae, birds, and small mammals. This cultivar is additionally more shade tolerant than other arborvitae, and its bright yellow foliage especially shines in part-shade.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
