Golden Globe Arborvitae 1 Live Shrub – Thuja occidentalis ‘Globosa Aurea’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Golden Globe Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis ‘Globosa Aurea’) is an ornamental evergreen conifer valued for its golden-yellow foliage and naturally rounded growth habit. Its dense, scale-like foliage forms soft, flattened sprays that create a distinctive globe-shaped appearance throughout the year.

This compact arborvitae provides year-round color and structure in foundation plantings, mixed evergreen borders, formal gardens, and ornamental landscape beds. Its golden foliage contrasts with dark-green shrubs, flowering perennials, and other conifers. Foliage color may develop warmer bronze or amber tones during colder weather, depending on climate and exposure.

This listing includes one live Golden Globe Arborvitae in a 3 gallon nursery pot. Approx. 12 inches tall at time of shipping. It grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Adequate sunlight generally supports its brightest golden foliage coloration.
