Cupressus sempervirens 'Swane's Golden'
A superb golden form of Italian cypress. It is a true golden colour throughout, compact and slow growing. Distinctive narrow conical conifer. Best planted in a sunny site where they are not shaded by other plants or buildings. Very hardy to cold. Grows in a range of soil types, but avoid very rich fertile soils which cause the plant to lose it's shape. Wonderful structural plant.
