Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aureovariegata' (Variegated Threadleaf False Cypress)

SunZone: 4-8 72" tall Origin: Japan

Web-Only! I hunted for years for this plant and finally found a single specimen growing in a yard in Baltimore. With the same form as the gold-thread cypress, this conifer has variegations of cream and green in the thread-like branches. To me, it resembles a yellow and green, worn-out mop stuck in the ground...an important landscape feature here in the South. It is slow-growing compared to the golden forms...our 10-year-old plant is only 72" tall...rare in commercial trade. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
