Even thought the prophet was speaking to Joshua, most understand that "The Branch" is also the coming Messiah. Below is a list of cross references for Zechariah 6:12.
Isaiah 11:1
Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
Isaiah 53:2
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
Jeremiah 23:5
"Behold, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch; And He will reign as king and act wisely And do justice and righteousness in the land.
Jeremiah 33:15
'In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.
