Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Lutea'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Lutea' is a highly sought-after ornamental dwarf conifer, prized for its compact habit and bright golden foliage, which remains particularly decorative year-round. It forms a dense, rounded to slightly irregular silhouette, composed of short, overlapping branches that give it a textured and refined appearance. Its persistent golden yellow to yellowish-green foliage brightens borders, rockeries, and Japanese gardens, especially when planted in a sunny location. With slow growth, it maintains modest dimensions for a long time, making it an excellent choice for small gardens and container cultivation. Well-adapted to Quebec conditions, Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Lutea' prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a sheltered exposure from winter winds to retain the full intensity of its coloration.
