Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aurea'
Small shrub with a unique and elegant appearance, a mass of golden threadlike branchlets that weep gracefully downwards towards the tips. Develops into a wide mound. Very hardy, best with protection from the hottest sun. Grows in most soils but avoid very dry sites. Fantastic shrub to provide colour in winter.
