This evergreen conifer displays a striking twisted, upright habit with golden-yellow foliage that provides year-round interest. Hardy in USDA zones 4 to 8, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils. This slow grower reaches a mature height of 6 to 8 feet and a spread of 4 to 6 feet, forming a compact, conical shape. While it doesn’t exhibit dramatic fall color, its foliage retains year-round vibrancy, making it a standout in any landscape. Deer-resistant, low-maintenance, and ideal for borders, rock gardens, or as a specimen plant, this cultivar is perfect for adding texture and color contrast. It does not produce fruit and is valued for its evergreen appeal and whimsical shape.
