White Cedar Rheingold

A slow growing, evergreen conifer, Thuja occidentalis Rheingold has the typical Thuja scale-like leaves but it is a rich old gold or amber colour. Rheingold has become very popular for its unusually coloured flat sprays of aromatic foliage. White Cedar Rheingold has a good oval to conical shape and eventually makes a large shrub. It makes an ideal specimen plant for any garden as it tolerates most soil conditions and will also grow well in a large container. Take well to light pruning and shaping.
