Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Plumosa Compressa Aurea' ( Hillier Nursery, UK 1970) 2020 photo - Common Name: Dwarf Sawara Cypress, Size at 10 years: 2x2ft., yellow foliage, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, In Garden Bed J2,20 for 296 DAYS (Stanl). Planted in 2019.
ACS: Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Plumosa Compressa Aurea' is dwarf, globose selection of sawara cypress with fluffy, juvenile foliage that is tinged with creamy golden highlights in late spring and summer. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 12 inches (30 cm) tall and wide, an annual growth rate of around 1 inch (2.5 cm).
This cultivar originated as a color sport found in the early 1970s by Hillier Nursery, Winchester, United Kingdom on a specimen of C. pisifera 'Plumosa Compressa'. Hillier Nursery is also credited with naming and introducing the plant to the nursery trade. It should be noted that since 'Plumosa Compressa Aurea' was named and introduced after 1959, it is technically an invalid cultivar name. Nonetheless, it is such a well-known cultivar that changing its name would lead to needless confusion.
Stanley & Sons Nursery: A dwarf yellow form of Swara Cypress. A round dwarf with square-like yellow foliage. Makes a nice color spot for winter or summer. Plant foliage is soft and hardy. Found as a mutation in 1971 off of 'Plumosa Compressa' in England at Hilliers Nursery.
