Thuja occidentalis Polar Gold® is a hardy, golden cultivar of American arborvitae with a compact growth habit and eye-catching golden highlights among evergreen scaly foliage. Growing to 12-15' high with a spread of only four to six feet, Polar Gold® provides a living fence effect with a smaller footprint than other Thuja cultivars.

Although it prefers full sun, Thuja occidentalis Polar Gold® is also tolerant of part shade conditions, with higher tolerance of shade-heavy part-shade conditions than other Thuja cultivars.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
