Thuja plicata '4EVER'
Choose Forever Goldy® Arborvitae when you want a narrow evergreen with gold color and better deer resistance than many common arborvitaes. The tradeoff: that color needs sun, and it stands out more than a green screen.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The gold foliage gives strong contrast, but it can feel loud if the rest of the planting is already busy. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in at a useful pace without becoming as bulky as the biggest screening arborvitaes. |
| Maintenance | A- | Its upright shape typically needs only light cleanup unless you are forcing a formal hedge. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | With Thuja plicata genetics, it is a strong pick where browsing is a concern, though no plant is immune. |
| Small Space Fit | A | The narrow habit fits tight beds better than broad screening evergreens, as long as you leave room for maturity. |
| Screening Value | B | It works for a smaller privacy panel, but the gold color is less subtle than green screening plants. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Forever Goldy® Arborvitae as an accent screen near foundations, entries, and smaller borders, not as the main plant for a long property-line hedge.

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Good size but tree seemed to be root bound. Tree budding late August.

Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
