Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you sow.

Why do Golden Oriental Arborvitae foliage tips look golden?

The Aurea form develops golden-tipped foliage sprays, creating a contrast with its green evergreen growth.

Can Golden Oriental Arborvitae form a low garden hedge?

How does Aurea differ visually from a plain green arborvitae?

Aurea has golden-tipped foliage sprays, adding yellow-gold tones to the otherwise green evergreen structure.

Can Golden Oriental Arborvitae be grown as bonsai?
Yes. Bonsai cultivation is listed as a suitable use, with pruning and root management used to maintain a compact form.

Is Golden Oriental Arborvitae suitable for foundation planting?
