Thuja occidentalis 'Yellow Ribbon'

Yellow Ribbon Arborvitae

Yellow Ribbon Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis ‘Yellow Ribbon’) brings golden foliage to a narrow evergreen outline. Dense growth keeps the color concentrated, making even a single plant a conspicuous accent.

Its moderate growth and slender proportions suit repeated vertical accents or a small screen. The golden-yellow foliage remains colorful through the year.

Plant in sun or partial shade in soil that drains well.
