Fernspray Gold hinoki false cypress
Family:
Cupressaceae (cypress family)
Distribution:
Species native to Japan and Taiwan
Hardiness:
USDA Zone 4
Life form:
Evergreen tree
Comments:
An evergreen conifer shrub with bright yellow, scaly foliage throughout the year. The branches with their foliage resemble fern fronds, hence the name. Slender and slow-growing, this shrub can exceed 10' tall after many years. It takes shearing well to provide a fuller appearance. Nice as an accent in the border or foundation.
