Growing and Maintenance Tips:

The striking yellow-gold colour is valued for its winter interest. Damage or stem breakage may occur in the winter from ice and snow accumulation. Protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds is recommended in an exposed location.

Additional Notes about Sunkist Cedar:

Deer find the soft evergreen foliage very attractive for winter food and will rapidly strip a plant.
