6 ft. x 3 ft. Golden-yellow foliage darkens to emerald-green as it matures, taking on a bronzed-orange color in winter. It has an open, tiered habit with tight fans of growth, slightly curled at the edge, and dotted with small, spherical cones late in the year. Hardy to Zone 5.

Cultivars of this Japanese cypress seem endless in number, but most are quite distinct in foliage color and ultimate form.  Short, fan-shaped growth gives the plants a dense habit resembling clouds or boulders.  Dimensions given are estimates after approximately ten years' growth.
