Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sprays of bright golden foliage are irregularly scattered throughout this wonderful version of a western native tree. This cultivar is smaller than the species, reaching 20-30' and somewhat columnar at 8-10' wide. Older specimens develop the gorgeous, rough russet colored bark this tree is well-loved for. It makes a great contrast when planted among other solid evergreens. S/M

A striking variety! This selection is slightly slower growing with the same columnar habit. The deep green foliage is decorated with bold yellow variegation. It is well adapted to locations with moist, fertile soil and full sun. Although the growth habit is attractive, slight pruning is recommended to produce the best variegation.
