Spencer Young · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Pruning
No pruning Needed. Cut away stray or broken branches. If you want to cut it back do this in late winter before new growth emerges
Gardenality.com · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Planting
Plant Berkman's Golden arborvitae in sites that provide full to mostly sun and well-drained soil. Because of its pyramidal growth habit, I like using this plant on the corners of single level homes, building or other structures, as a mid-size natural hedge, or as a focal point specimen in landscape beds.
Gardenality.com · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Pruning
Berkman's Golden arborvitae grows naturally to a pyramidal shape so requires little if any pruning. You can lightly shear the plant in late winter if a more formal shape is desired.
Gardenality.com · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Problems
I've seen very few if any serious pest or disease problems with Berkman's Golden Arborvitae. Consistently wet soil can cause problems with the roots. Too much shade can cause thinning of foliage.
Gardenality.com · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Feeding
Fertilize Berkman's Golden arborvitae with a well-balanced shrub & tree type fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer or early fall.
