NEW! ‘Sungold’ Falsecypress - Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Sungold’ is a dwarf golden threadleaf cultivar. It is truly one of the most interesting plants to have in the landscape or garden. Like most everyone else, when I walk past a Sungold Cypress in the garden, I have to stop, admire, and gaze in awe at its incredible beauty. Its golden evergreen scale-like needles cling to weeping or semi-weeping branches. In summer it is very green, having good winter yellows if placed in a sunny location. New spring growth also emerges bright yellow. (Better and more consistant gold color then the regular gold cypress)

They do not like wet or poorly draining soils. They're somewhat drought tolerant once established, but will need moist well draining fertile soil for the first couple years to properly establish, & even then their drought tolerance shouldn't be too awfully tested during long rainless summers.

Most of its many dwarf cultivars do not produce cones, but 'Sungold' when very mature might do so. With moderate pruning 'Sungold' can be restrained to about any small size required, but if left to go wild could very slowly but eventually reach eight feet of height, & considerably wider, with flattening top.

An easy to grow and easy to maintain evergreen. Excellent mop-like form that makes a nice accent for the border or small hedge. Full sun. Slow grower to 5 to 6 feet tall, 7 to 8 feet wide Care Instructions

Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Provide well drained soil, rich in organic matter. Feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch.
