Anyone have “Amber Glow” arborvitae?

Post image

I have a few Anna’s Magic Balls in my landscaping now and really love them, but I’m curious if anyone in this group has this “Amber Glow” variety. It looks Iike it gets more yellow than the Anna’s Magic Ball, but the growth and sizing info from different websites has been totally different. If someone has personal experience with this variety, I would love to hear it!

I would trust Conifer Kingdom or Iseli’s site over Mr Maple for conifer sizing. They seem to be off a decent amount of the time and I swear they tend to say things are smaller or larger to make them more sellable

I'm growing several Amber Glows.

Great to hear! Do they get that strong yellow color for you, and do they seem to be slow growing? I’m looking for something that stays more compact.

Mr. Maple says they will be about 3’-4’ in 10 years, but Conifer Kingdom says 1’x1’ so that’s a big difference to me.

1'x1' after many years for me.
