Golden Japanese Hinoki Cypress
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Aurea' A distinctive, handsome tree with spreading, graceful branches. The cupped-shaped outer sprays & new foliage are warm, Rich Yellow, while interior and older foliage sport a Lush Green. Attractive, Reddish-brown bark develops striking texture with age. EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE & EASY TO GROW. Needs no clipping to develop a wonderful form. In fact, it will look better left completely unclipped, so that its natural character can develop freely.
