Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Lutea' Tree

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Lutea' TreeThe golden yellow Chamaecyparis obtusa Nana Lutea has the same superior features as C. o. Nana Gracilis with the addition of vibrant new growth. The compact, slow growing small tree has an irregularly rounded form developing into an upright broad habit as it ages. Dense, golden sprays of foliage become brighter in more open settings. A valuable option for year round garden color, it prefers some protection from harsh summer sun and desiccating winds.

Foliage is edged in white and new growth emerges pink
