Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Cream Ball' - The unique color of this compact ball, neither white nor yellow, is truly cream, a soft, rich shade that will complement many landscapes. A close look at the foliage shows that a range of colors and textures, including bluish needles and green scales that are tipped with blond, contribute to the glowing effect. The well-mannered, easy-to-grow conifer maintains a uniform globe shape without shearing and makes a dressy accent or, lined up, an attractive border edge. More sun produces a brighter look.
