Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aurea' (Sport, ~1889) 2020 photo - Common Name: Golden Threadleaf Sawara False Cypress, Size at 10 years: 7x6ft., drooping yellow foliage, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, In Garden Bed HR-VC3 for 38.9 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 1981.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Filifera Aurea’ is noted for its drooping yellow foliage. This is a dense, semi-dwarf, evergreen shrub that typically grows as a broad cone. It is slow growing, often reaching only 6-7’ tall in 20 years, but may eventually reach 15-20’ tall in optimum conditions. Features golden, weeping, thread-like foliage that provides excellent texture and color to foundation plantings. Foliage is usually quite attractive in winter. Small cones appear only on mature plants. Peeling, reddish-brown bark develops on mature branches. This cultivar, as well as other Filifera cultivars, is also often commonly called threadleaf false cypress in recognition of the thread-like foliage.
Location: Michigan State University, Hidden Lake Gardens, Tipton, MI. Harper Collection of Rare & Dwarf Conifers. Planted in 1981. Part of the original Harper Collection.
