A striking evergreen conifer with a compact, upright habit, this versatile choice is known for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage that retains its color year-round. Hardy and reliable, it thrives in USDA zones 5-9, with recommended temperatures ranging from -15°F to 20°F. Fall color is consistent with its golden hue, and while flowering is absent, its foliage provides a striking visual interest across seasons. Growing in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and demonstrates moderate deer resistance. Mature height reaches 20-30 feet with a width of 8-10 feet, forming a pyramidal shape ideal for privacy screens, hedges, or specimen planting. The plant is robust, low-maintenance, and an excellent choice for both residential and commercial landscapes.
