Highlights® American Arborvitae

‘Janed Gold’ is a cultivated variety of our native American Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis). It was selected for its vibrant golden yellow foliage, which it maintains throughout the year, even through the cold winter months. It has a tight, upright columnar form that grows at a modest rate, which is able to reach 8' tall by 4' wide in the first 10 years. This is a low-maintenance plant that requires no pruning, though it does take shearing well if a more manicured appearance is desired. ‘Janed Gold’ is a colorful, evergreen addition to foundation plantings, shrub and perennial borders, and will even tolerate being in a container if it is provided with enough water.

Plant Care & Installation Quick-Guide

Proper acclimation and installation are key to your plant's success. Please cross-reference these tips with your plant's specific ID tags:

·
Pre-Planting: Store plants in a light-appropriate area on soil or grass (avoid hot concrete or asphalt) and water daily until the soil is saturated and the pot feels heavy. If temperatures drop below 30°F, move pots to a garage or cover them to prevent root freeze.

·
Installation: Dig a hole matching the depth of the pot, remove the fabric container, and ensure the plant’s crown or root flare is level with the ground. Fill gaps with soil, water heavily, and apply 2 inches of mulch—keeping it clear of the stem.

·
Ongoing Care: Check moisture daily by feeling 1–2 inches into the soil; water deeply at the base if the soil feels dry or warm. Newly installed plants require frequent watering (up to 3–4 times weekly in heat) until fully established, which can take a few months for perennials and up to two years for trees.
