Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Golden Pincushion'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Golden Pincushion' is an ornamental dwarf conifer highly valued for its naturally flattened habit and bright, fine-textured foliage. It forms a compact, slightly spreading silhouette, resembling a dense and uniform golden cushion, without the need for pruning. Its evergreen foliage, composed of short, tightly packed branches, displays a vibrant golden yellow hue that persists all year, especially in sunny conditions. Ideal for rockeries, borders, Japanese gardens, and container planting, it brings structure and contrast to landscape designs. Slow-growing and easy to maintain, this Hinoki cypress is well-suited to Quebec conditions when planted in well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and protected from excessive winter winds.
