This colorful native evergreen has showy, rich gold foliage. Unlike other golden arborvitae varieties, TECHNY GOLD™ actually shows improved, more intense gold color in the winter.
Tough, hardy, and easy to grow, this selection of Mission arborvitae resists winter burn and will provide durable golden color for four seasons. Use it for screening or as an accent plant. It can easily be incorporated into existing conifer plantings for a burst of bright color.

Features

Showy golden evergreen foliage intensifies in color during winter. Little care is needed, may be pruned to shape in fall. Tough, hardy and burn resistant. Native. Great winter color.

*Even drought tolerant annual and perennial plants will need water for the first few weeks while they get established. Shrubs and trees will need to be watered for the first year after they are planted. After this, little or no supplemental water will be necessary when planted in the ground. No plant is truly drought tolerant in a container; water is necessary for all plants in containers.
