Description
The Golden Thuja, also known as Morpankh, is a compact coniferous shrub with delicate feather-like foliage in a rich green-gold hue. Its symmetrical, upright growth and unique texture make it a stunning feature in outdoor spaces — from balconies and terraces to garden corners or flanking entryways.
Unlike common shrubs, Thuja has a naturally sculpted pyramid shape and remains green throughout the year. The golden tint adds brightness to dull corners and pairs beautifully with ceramic or stone-finish planters. As it matures, its foliage grows denser while retaining a neat, vertical form.
Low-maintenance and wind-resistant, this variety thrives in bright light and can also be shaped or pruned as a topiary, making it ideal for decorative landscaping.
