Chamaecyparis Obtusa Aurea

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Aurea’ (Golden Hinoki Cypress) is a slow-growing, compact evergreen conifer prized for its bright golden-yellow, fan-shaped foliage that provides year-round color and texture. The plant forms a dense, pyramidal to conical shape, with soft, layered branches that create a sculptural, architectural presence in the garden. Its growth habit is naturally compact, making it ideal for small landscapes, foundation plantings, specimen displays, or container cultivation. The golden foliage contrasts beautifully with darker evergreens, and its neat, tidy form makes it popular for formal gardens, bonsai, and accent plantings. This cultivar maintains its color throughout the seasons, adding visual interest even in winter.
