Amber Gold Arborvitae is a slow-growing compact evergreen shrub with a dense upright pyramidal to conical habit and soft flat sprays of rich green scale-like foliage that is golden yellow where the sun touches and becomes a mellow amber gold as the weather cools. Best foliage color in full sun and well-drained soils. Heat and drought tolerant once established.
