Eastern White Cedar Sunkist

A compact white cedar with lovely colours in spring and winter, Thuja occidentalis Sunkist is an evergreen shrub of slow-growing to average vigour with a neat, conical habit. The aromatic, flattened sprays of leaves emerge lemon yellow, growing light green with yellow tips in summer and turning vibrant orange-yellow in winter. This shrub makes a good focal point in the garden, and also makes a good hedge. It tolerates clipping. Eastern white cedar, also known as arborvitae, will not thrive in very exposed positions.
