Highlights™ Janed Gold Arborvitae: Oh That Year-Round Golden Glow
Vibrant color and effortless care can coexist; best of all, they can exist in a shrub that is incredibly low-maintenance. There is no need for constant pruning or fussy care routines. You’ll spend less time tending and more time enjoying your stunning outdoor oasis. It thrives in hardiness zones 5-8, ensuring it can withstand any challenges Mother Nature may present.
Compact size perfect for small spaces
Dense foliage creates privacy and seclusion
Thrives in various soil conditions
Durable and weather resistant
Janed Gold’s leaves emerge in a soft, buttery yellow hue in spring, gradually deepening to a rich, golden tone as the summer progresses. The foliage maintains this lustrous golden color through autumn, offering a striking contrast against the cooler temperatures. The texture of the leaves is fine and scale-like, creating a dense, compact appearance that contributes to the plant’s overall elegance. Regardless of the season, this evergreen adorns your landscape with a cheerful pop of color.
For vibrant year-round color, plant your Highlights™ Janed Gold Arborvitae in full sun. It tolerates partial shade, but the golden hues might be less intense. Well-drained soil is crucial, so avoid soggy areas.
Measure the Space
At maturity, this arborvitae reaches 10-15 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. Plant multiple trees 4 feet apart for a beautiful privacy screen.
Dig the Hole
Make a hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball of your container-grown arborvitae and slightly deeper. Loosen the soil around the edges to encourage root expansion.
Plant It
Carefully remove your Highlights™ Janed Gold Arborvitae from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root crown sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole and tamp gently to eliminate air pockets.
Water Thoroughly
Water your newly planted arborvitae deeply, soaking the soil around the base until water runs freely from the drainage holes. This ensures a thoroughly saturated root ball for healthy growth.
Mulch and Care
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it a few inches from the stem. Replenish the mulch as needed. Established trees are drought-tolerant but benefit from deep watering during extended dry periods. Water when the top few inches of soil feel dry.
