Chamaecyparis obtusa Verkades Golden

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Verkade’s Golden’ is a luminous Hinoki cypress selected for its bright golden-yellow foliage and compact, upright habit. The finely layered sprays bring year-round color and refined texture, with the strongest gold tones developing in full sun. It prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil and grows at a slow to moderate, manageable pace. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it matures as a small specimen that adds warmth and structure to conifer collections and focal plantings.
