‘Forever Goldy’
Thuja plicata 'Forever Goldy' Arborvitae is a cultivar of Western Red Cedar known for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage that holds color year-round. This evergreen tree typically grows in a pyramidal form, reaching heights of 10-12 feet and spreading 3-4 feet wide, making it suitable for hedges or specimen plantings. 'Forever Goldy' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils, though it is adaptable to a range of soil types. It requires regular watering, especially during establishment, but once mature, it can tolerate some drought. This arborvitae is valued for its low maintenance and resistance to deer, making it a popular choice for landscapes.
