Chamaecyparis Paul's Gold®

Chamaecyparis pisifera, known as the Sawara cypress, is a large evergreen conifer native to Japan. It features a pyramidal growth habit, reaching up to 70 feet in the wild but typically maturing to 30 feet in cultivation. The tree is prized for its reddish-brown peeling bark and fine-textured foliage, which varies from scale-like to feathery depending on the cultivar. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is widely used in ornamental landscapes for its diverse textures and colors.
