Common name: Cripps golden hinoki false cypress
Family: Cupressaceae (cypress family)

Comments: This needled evergreen eventually matures to a small, broadly conical tree to 15' tall by 6-8' wide. Needles are flattened and soft to the touch, with conspicuous x-shaped stomatal bands underneath. A golden yellow selection that brightens with the onset of cold weather and then lightens to yellow-green in summer. A strong accent plant that makes a statement in any garden.
