'Aurea Nana' is a very compact form of Hinoki Cypress. It is a stunning tree with bright gold foliage on twisted, fan-shaped branchlets. These contrast beautifully with the dark green interior. Growth Rate slow, 3-6" annually

A dense and slow growing dwarf with twisted fan shaped golden branchlets, I admit to confusion with Nana aurea, if there s a difference it is hard to see in young plants.
