Chamaecyparis obtusa Fernspray Gold

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Fernspray Gold’ is a distinctive Hinoki cypress known for its arching, fern-like branchlets and luminous golden-yellow foliage. The graceful, cascading habit adds movement and contrast, especially when paired with more rigid conifers. It prefers full sun to partial shade, with brighter light enhancing its golden color, and grows at a moderate rate compared to dwarf forms. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it typically develops into a small tree or large shrub and makes a striking focal point in the landscape.
