Thuja occidentalis 'Highlights'
Choose Highlights Arborvitae if you want a narrow evergreen screen with gold color instead of plain green. Main tradeoff: that color makes it more noticeable, so skip it when you want a quiet background hedge.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The gold foliage gives a strong focal point, but it can look too loud if overused. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in at a useful pace, but it is not an instant wall. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It keeps a tidy upright shape with light care, provided the soil drains well. |
| Deer Resistance | C | This is not the arborvitae we would lean on where deer regularly browse evergreens. |
| Small Space Fit | B | The narrow habit helps, but it still needs real room as it matures. |
| Screening Value | A- | It makes a dense screen with color, though the gold look is less subtle than green. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Highlights as an accent screen, not as a whole-property hedge. Use it where the gold color has a job, then keep the rest of the planting calmer.

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!
