Polar Gold® Arborvitae

Polar Gold® arborvitae is an upright evergreen with golden foliage through the year. Its mature size is about 12–15 feet tall and 4–6 feet wide, giving it a narrow, space-conscious profile for a landscape screen or vertical accent. It grows in full sun to part shade and is listed for USDA zones 3a–7b with average watering. The golden foliage brings color to mixed borders and specimen plantings.

Its foliage color makes it visible in a mixed planting in every season. ## Maintenance After establishment, provide average moisture. Prune after the season’s growth if shaping is needed; the natural upright form can also be left untrimmed.
