Golden Tuffet is a gorgeous variety of white cedar (arborvitae). It is a cushion-forming, small, slow growing conifer with golden-orange leaves on top of the shrub, and bright green at the bottom. In winter it gains reddish-purple shade on insolated parts. It makes about 6cm per year and looks a little like cryptomeria Globosa Nana.

Thanks to slow growth it needs no or very little pruning that can be done at any time from early spring till early summer. It is soil tolerant but dislikes boggy locations and long-standing water as well as long-lasting drought. Just keep the soil moist after planting by mulching, and you will get a fantastic plant. Hardy to about -40°C (USDA zone 3).
