Golden-Green Landscape Perfection, with Great Heat Tolerance

Why Berckman's Gold Arborvitae?

Increasingly popular and rightfully so, Berckman’s Gold Arborvitae is everything you want in an evergreen - with some added flair. Its manageable size, paired with engaging color and texture, ad adds interest to any landscape. Woody gardeners and plant-lovers alike will want to clear a space for this Arborvitae.  

Berckman’s Gold Arborvitae is aptly named for its light green-yellow coloration, with tips fading into a gold sheen. When mature, the branches hold a medium to fine texture. The Berckman’s Gold features a neat, oval habit, which suits its profuse cone production. Cones begin in a blue-white color, and ripen to rich mahogany.

This Gold Arborvitae is classified as a semi-dwarf species, making it perfect for smaller landscapes. A hardy grower, your Berckman’s Gold Arborvitae won't be susceptible to browning in the winter. They make an excellent hedge, and as a border plant, they can be trimmed to form a striking, pleasant-looking barrier. It's well-suited for southern heat and humidity, with a moderate growth rate. 

Rich in color, cone production, and lush foliage, the Berckman’s Gold Arborvitae is an ideal accent to add to your landscape. It stands out from the more typical evergreen species as a showy border plant.

Gold is bare on one side.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello James! We appreciate your input. Some light thinning can happen during transit or early growth stages, especially with younger nursery plants. Your Berckmans Gold Arborvitae should start to even out with time and care. If you have concerns or need assistance, feel free to reach out anytime.
