 Techny Gold   Thuja occidentalis 'Walter Brown'' pp#16,280, cpaf

 

Techny Arborvitae has long been regarded as the hardiest, most rugged of all the Arborvitae. Now we have Golden Techny, a golden sport with the same hardiness. A major breakthrough in Gold arborvitae!

In over 7 years of testing this plant has never shown any burn or winter discoloration. In fact the color tends to get better during the winter.

Use Golden Techny as a specimen plant or as a hedge by itself our mixed in with regular Techny. It provides easy color that lasts all year long.

This colorful native evergreen has showy, rich gold foliage.  Unlike other golden arborvitae varieties, TECHNY GOLD actually shows improved, more intense gold color in the winter.

Tough, hardy, and easy to grow, this selection of Mission arborvitae resists winter burn and will provide durable golden color for four seasons.  Use it for screening or as an accent plant.  It can easily be incorporated into existing conifer plantings for a burst of bright color.
