Thuja occidentalis ‘Golden Globe’ is a compact, dwarf arborvitae prized for its naturally rounded shape and vibrant golden-green foliage that adds year-round color to the landscape. A slow grower, it maintains a neat, globe-like form without the need for pruning, making it an easy-care choice for foundation plantings, borders, or mixed beds. Its soft, scale-like leaves emerge bright golden yellow, maturing to a warm green while retaining a cheerful glow even through winter.

Prefers full sun to partial shade and average, well-drained, moderately moist soils—especially loamy, neutral to alkaline types. It’s intolerant of dry conditions and exposed, windy sites, yet tolerant of clay soils, black walnut allelopathy, and air pollution. This dwarf evergreen, valued for its dense, rounded habit and soft yellow-green foliage, is low-maintenance when placed in a sheltered spot with some afternoon shade in hot climates.
