Lemon Burst Arborvitae is a dense evergreen shrub with a dense conical habit without gaps and soft lacy scale-like foliage. The foliage emerge a bright gold that holds even in full sun and matures to bright green before turning a lovely shade of orange in fall. Best grown full sun and well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established. Lemon Burst is resistant to winter burn and Passalora/Cercospora needle blight.
