About this product

Thuja occidentalis 'Golden Smaragd' – supplied in a C15 container, approximately 100 cm tall

Plant Highlights: Golden evergreen foliage • Compact upright conical habit • Year-round structure • Excellent for hedging and specimen planting

Overview

Thuja occidentalis 'Golden Smaragd' is an attractive evergreen conifer selected for its dense, upright growth and bright golden-green foliage. Its naturally neat, narrow habit makes it an excellent choice for adding year-round structure to gardens, whether planted as a feature specimen, grouped for screening or used in formal planting schemes.

The soft, scale-like foliage keeps its colour throughout the year, bringing warmth and contrast to mixed borders and evergreen displays. Its compact form also makes it suitable for larger containers where a permanent architectural feature is desired.

Growing Guide

Plant in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. A brighter position generally encourages the strongest golden foliage colour, while protection from drying winds helps maintain healthy evergreen growth.

Water regularly during the first growing season while establishing, and continue to water during prolonged dry spells, especially when planted in containers. Apply a mulch around the base in spring to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pruning

Minimal pruning is usually required, as 'Golden Smaragd' naturally forms a tidy upright shape. If grown as part of a formal hedge or screen, light trimming can be carried out during the growing season to maintain the desired outline.

Avoid cutting back into old, bare wood, as conifers may not regenerate well from these areas.
