Incredibly striking, especially in winter when it really stands out! This slow-growing, low-mounding spreader to 5' tall and 7' wide has needles of deep brilliant gold; a perfect specimen for a conifer bed. It can sunburn in full sun, try planting it near a deciduous tree to give it afternoon shade in the summer and allowing it the glow in winter!. S-PSh/M
