Cedar 'Janed Gold'
FamilyCupressaceae
Thuja occidentalis 'Janed Gold' is a western cedar with bright golden foliage, valued for its pyramidal shape and sustained coloration in full sun. This evergreen conifer develops a naturally conical habit, taller than wide, ideal for structured hedges, privacy screens, and decorative vertical plantings. Its golden yellow foliage retains a beautiful intensity throughout the season and may take on a slight bronze hue in winter. Dense and well-branched, it offers good screening power while bringing brilliance and contrast to landscape designs. Very hardy and adaptable, Thuja occidentalis 'Janed Gold' prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to maximize its coloration. It is an excellent choice for structuring northern gardens with luminosity and permanence.
