Sungold Sawara Cypress Tree Form

The Sungold Sawara Cypress is a great gift tree for the busy or new gardener. It rolls up it sleeves and gets to work, bringing solid yellow and gold color to the garden and making a lovely mound of pendulous thread-like foliage without asking for anything in return. With a round and mounded shape, a little wider than it is tall, this plant always looks neat and trim and never needs attention to stay that way. Not only that, this beauty is hardy to minus 40, so for someone who lives in the coldest areas it is a great choice. Typically it reaches about 3 feet tall, although it may eventually grow taller, and 4 – 5 feet tall, so it really fills a space in a corner, at the top of a wall, along a driveway or beside a door. It will never become bare at the bottom or untidy at the top, but it will always look great, no matter the weather or the season. This evergreen is the perfect choice for any gardener, especially those who would rather enjoy their garden than work in it.

• Neat mounded shape with a broad spread
• Yellow to gold foliage brings a bold splash of color
• Super winter-hardy to minus 40 with no burning
• Great no-care-needed gift choice for busy gardeners
• Thrives in any sunny spot in any garden

Choose a sunny location for the Sungold Sawara Cypress, to develop the best yellow and gold colors, but almost any soil will suit it just fine, as long as it is not constantly dry. New gardeners often need plants to put around the house as foundation planting, and this is an ideal choice, filling a good space and never growing too tall and blocking windows. It also does really well in planter boxes and even large pots, where it is a no-maintenance option to costly and time-consuming annual flowers.
