Arborvitae - Yellow Ribbon

Arborvitae - Yellow Ribbon, Thuja occidentalis 'Yellow Ribbon', is a semi-dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen shrub that grows tall, very narrow, and has excellent golden-yellow color all year. Urn-shaped cones to 1/2" long mature in autumn to reddish-brown. Most often seen at maturity as an 8' to 10' tall shrub with a spread of 2' to 3'. Yellow Ribbon is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Its foliage density loosens up in too much shade. It tolerates a wide range of soils and likes humid weather with regular rains. In hot and dry weather, periodic, deep waterings are advisable. This attractive evergreen can be used for accents or screens; anyplace where brilliant color is needed!
