| Content | | | Need a plant perfect for hedging? Castlewellan Gold Conifer is an evergreen conifer plant that produces stunning golden-yellow foliage. Ideal for improving privacy, it thrives well in almost every condition including wind and dry spells.
The Conifer Castlewellan Gold is a highly popular, fast-growing hedging plant that gets its name from its golden foliage, achieved by planting in full sun. It can grow up to 10 meters tall in 5 years on a rural property. However for the urban block they are easily maintained at a height of 3m, perfect for hedging, avenues, and windbreaks. Recommended planting is 1.5m apart for dense hedging. It is very tough and hardy and will cope with extended dry periods and extreme cold once established.
The Castlewellan Gold Conifer plant requires continuous care as it tends to grow very quickly. However, its growth can be easily regulated with regular trimming plus, along with Leighton Green conifers they are one of the most neat and dense hedges around. |
