Thuja occidentalis ‘Sunkist’, commonly known as ‘Sunkist’ American arborvitae, is an evergreen conifer with a broad, dense pyramidal habit, prized for its luminous golden foliage. Its flattened branches, a vibrant golden yellow in spring, maintain a warm golden-green hue in summer, sometimes taking on a bronze tint in winter. Its moderate growth and naturally regular silhouette make it an excellent choice for colorful hedges, privacy screens, or specimen plantings. Thuja occidentalis ‘Sunkist’ prefers cool, well-drained soil and tolerates various soil types, provided they are not waterlogged. Hardy and low-maintenance, it adds a lasting touch of brightness to cold-climate landscapes.
