Platyclatus orientalis Morgan

Platycladus orientalis ‘Morgan’ is a colorful selection valued for its golden-yellow foliage that deepens to warm bronze tones in cooler weather. Unlike green forms, this cultivar was chosen specifically for its seasonal color shifts and ornamental presence. It develops a compact, upright to rounded habit with dense branching that maintains a tidy appearance. It grows best in full sun for strongest color and prefers well-drained soil, with a slow to moderate growth rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it works well as a color accent in mixed evergreen plantings and formal landscapes.
