Chamaecyparis obtusa Aurea Spiralis

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Aurea Spiralis’ is a distinctive Hinoki cypress selected for its twisting, spiral branchlets and bright golden-yellow foliage. This unusual growth pattern gives the plant a sculptural, almost whimsical appearance while still maintaining the refined texture typical of Hinoki cypress. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, with brighter light enhancing its golden color, and grows at a slow to moderate rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it typically matures as a small, irregularly upright tree that makes a standout specimen in conifer collections.
