Chamaecyparis pisifera Lemon Thread

Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Lemon Thread’ is a striking threadleaf Sawara cypress prized for its vivid chartreuse to lemon-yellow foliage and fine, cascading texture. The narrow, filament-like branchlets create a soft, flowing form that adds brightness and movement to the landscape. It prefers full sun to partial shade, with brighter light enhancing its color, and grows at a moderate rate in well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, it develops into a medium-sized evergreen that serves as a bold color accent or specimen.
