Planting and Care Tips
Plant
Place the Southern Living® Forever Goldy™ Arborvitae in well-draining soil with the root ball level to the surface, spacing about 4–5 feet apart for a hedge or focal planting.
Feed
Apply a slow-release balanced evergreen fertilizer in early spring to support vibrant golden foliage and steady growth.
Water
Keep soil evenly moist, watering deeply once or twice a week during the first year and during dry spells thereafter.
Prune
Lightly trim in late spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or discolored branches, avoiding cuts into old wood.
Exposure
Plant in full sun to partial shade, with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily to maintain its bright golden color.
