This conifer showcases a graceful upright, pyramidal habit with striking golden-yellow foliage that intensifies in the summer months. It is recommended for hardiness in zones 6 to 9, thriving in mild temperatures with full sun exposure for best coloration. While not known for fall color, its needle-like foliage maintains year-round interest. The plant prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils and develops a broad, stately form at maturity. Its height can reach 40 to 60 feet, with an approximate spread of 20 to 30 feet. Bearing no fruit, it is deer resistant, making it a hardy and low-maintenance choice for ornamental landscapes and larger garden spaces.
