GOLDEN HINOKI FALSECYPRESS
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Lutea Compacta' is a slow-growing evergreen is prized for its soft, fan-shaped foliage that displays a stunning golden-yellow hue on the outer edges, which contrasts beautifully against the deeper green of the interior branches. Unlike other yellow conifers that look "burnt" or sickly, 'Lutea Compacta' maintains a rich, waxy luster and develops a graceful, irregular pyramidal shape over time. It typically reaches a height of about 5 to 6 feet over ten years, making it a perfect choice for those who want the prestige of a Hinoki without the massive footprint of the species.
To keep Golden Hinoki Falsecypress thriving, provide it with full sun to maintain its vibrant gold color. It does benefit from a little afternoon shade in extremely hot climates to prevent its delicate foliage from scorching. It prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and does not tolerate "wet feet" or heavy, compacted clay. Because of its refined texture and slow growth rate, it serves beautifully as a focal point in a rock garden, a companion in a Japanese-style landscape, or even as a high-end container plant. Once established, it requires very little pruning, as its natural, sculptural form is its greatest asset.
