Chamaecyparis pisifera Plumosa Aurea Compacta

Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Plumosa Aurea Compacta’ is a dense, dwarf Sawara cypress prized for its soft, plume-like foliage in warm golden-yellow tones. This compact selection forms a rounded to broadly pyramidal habit, offering bright color without excessive size. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, with stronger light enhancing its golden coloration, and grows at a slow to moderate pace in well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8, it remains manageable in size and works beautifully in small gardens, rock gardens, and mixed borders.
