Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Crippsii' Golden Form
Broadly pyramidal growth that is somewhat open in habit, Has a rich, golden yellow color which gradually changes to green toward the interior of the plant. Much more pronounced, vibrant yellow color than the standard Crippsii.

Prefers moist, well drained soil in a sunny, somewhat sheltered location. Excellent tree for landscape use.
