Golden Globe Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Golden Globe') 

Description:
Golden Globe Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Golden Globe') is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its naturally rounded, globe-like shape and vibrant golden-yellow foliage that brightens the landscape year-round. This slow-growing conifer reaches about 3–4 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for borders, foundation plantings, low hedges, containers, and accent plantings. Its fine-textured, aromatic foliage emerges gold in spring, remains bright through summer, and takes on a warm bronze tint in winter.
