Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lacy, golden-yellow foliage hangs gracefully from each branch of this upright, dwarf conifer. Color changes to a beautiful orange-bronze in winter, while showing no sign of burn in full sun during the summer.

By: Conifer Kingdom

A soft lacy open evergreen. The muted green and yellow foliage is very attractive all year. Should get 8’-10’ tall and make a pretty addition to anyone’s garden. Can grow in full sun and maintain the golden color.

A great dwarf conifer selection with yellow foliage that can take the full sun. Growth Rate slow

A truly outstanding dwarf Hinoki Cypress. This variety will form a narrow, compact slow-growing tree. Lacy foliage is lemon-yellow to white-yellow on the sprays. This variety will take full sun if grown in a moist location.
