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.
