How to care for Thuja occidentalis Rheingold:
Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic soil, in partial to full sun. When establishing this evergreen conifer, ensure consistent soil moisture during the first growing season, watering deeply but infrequently to encourage robust root development.
Apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) layer of organic mulch around the base to retain soil humidity and suppress weed growth. Protect young specimens from harsh winter winds by positioning them in sheltered locations or using temporary windbreak screens.
Prune selectively (wearing gloves) in early spring before new growth emerges, removing only dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's natural compact form. Using a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring will support healthy growth.
