Quite stunning, Chamaecyparis nootkatensis ‘Aurea’ (Nootka Cypress) is a tall evergreen conifer forming a dense, slender, pyramidal tree with drooping, flat sprays of scale-like, golden foliage. Lemon yellow during spring growth, the foliage gradually turns to yellow-green. When well sited, this Nootka Cypress is fast-growing and may easily add one or more feet (> 30 cm) in height and width per year. A pleasure to look at year-round, this elegant selection makes an excellent specimen conifer.
