Amber Gold Arborvitae (Cedar)

Medora Juniper has an upright, narrow growth habit that makes it well suited as either an accent shrub or as a privacy hedge or screen. It is a compact, pyramidal evergreen shrub with blue-green foliage that lasts year round.

It is low maintenance, drought tolerant, and deer resistant. Medora Juniper is known for holding its form well without pruning. If pruning is desired it is best done in late winter after the threat of extreme cold has passed.

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.
