It is notable for its bright lemon-yellow new growth in spring, which gradually matures to dark or medium green foliage through the summer. This dwarf conifer typically grows 5 to 10 feet tall with a spread of 3 to 6 feet over 10 years, making it suitable as a small specimen tree or for rockeries. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil.
