Rheingold Arborvitae

Rheingold Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Rheingold') is a striking, compact evergreen shrub with vibrant golden foliage. It is valued for its beautiful color and unique texture, making it a standout feature in any garden or landscape. The foliage emerges in spring with a bright golden hue that intensifies during the summer months. As the seasons change, the foliage transitions to bronze or orange tones, adding further visual interest. Rheingold Arborvitae has a dense, conical shape and a slow growth rate, reaching a height of about 3-5 feet and a spread of 2-4 feet. This compact size makes it suitable for small gardens, rockeries, or as a focal point in mixed borders. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil but can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions. Rheingold Arborvitae requires minimal pruning and maintenance, and its color and form remain attractive year-round. Whether used as a specimen plant, hedge, or in container plantings, Rheingold Arborvitae adds a touch of golden elegance to any landscape.
