Amber Gold Arborvitae (Cedar)

Tamarix Juniper has attractive, year round, blue-green foliage that will pop on a winter landscape. Not only does it provide winter interest, Tamarix Juniper is unique in that it does not “hug” the ground as one would expect. If you're looking for a shrub that is low maintenance, rabbit resistant, and tolerant of a variety of conditions, try Tamarix Juniper.

The Amber Gold Arborvitae is a cultivar of the Eastern White Cedar that has high ornamental value. Its scale-like foliage emerges yellow, darkens to green in summer, then turns an attractive orange-gold. This tree is an effective privacy screen even in winter and is a great addition to urban gardens.

The fall and winter colour on this tree is an amber-orange giving the Amber Gold Arborvitae its name.
