Thuja orientalis Aurea Nana

Common Name: Dwarf Golden Oriental Thuja

Description:
Thuja orientalis 'Aurea Nana', commonly known as Dwarf Golden Oriental Thuja, is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer with a dense, rounded habit. Its vibrant golden-yellow foliage maintains its colour year-round, intensifying in full sun and developing a warm bronze tint in winter. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub is ideal for small gardens, rockeries, borders, and container plantings. Thriving in well-drained soils, ‘Aurea Nana’ prefers full sun to part shade and is highly resistant to cold, wind, and urban pollution. Its naturally tidy growth requires little pruning, making it perfect for formal and structured landscapes.
