Thuja

Foliage: The Golden Oriental Arborvitae is prized for its vibrant, golden-yellow foliage. The leaves are scale-like and arranged in flattened sprays, creating a dense, lush appearance. Growth Habit: This variety of Thuja orientalis typically grows in a conical or pyramidal shape, maintaining a tidy and formal appearance. It can reach heights of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters) with a spread of about 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters). Winter Color: The foliage retains its golden-yellow color throughout the year, adding visual interest to landscapes, especially in the winter months when many other plants lose their color.
