Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Sungold', 2019 photo

Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Sungold', 2019 photo, Common Name: Dwarf Sawara Cypress, Size: 4x4ft., Golden Yellow, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, In Garden Bed HR-I for 16.2 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 2003.

 

Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Sungold' is a mounding, globose to broadly conical, dwarf evergreen shrub which features golden, fine-textured, thread-like foliage on stringy, weeping branches. New growth foliage emerges bright gold but eventually matures to lime green. Very slow growing, typically reaching only 3-5' tall in 10 years. May eventually reach a mature size of 8' tall and 12' wide, but can easily be kept smaller with minimal pruning. Small plants produce few if any cones. This plant is synonymous with and sometimes sold as C. p. var. filifera 'Sungold' or as C. p. 'Filifera Sungold'.
