The golden yellow Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana Lutea’ has the same superior features as C.o. ‘Nana Gracilis’ with the addition of vibrant new growth. The compact, slow-growing small tree has an irregularly rounded form developing into an upright broad habit as it ages. Dense, golden sprays of foliage become brighter in more open settings. A valuable option for year-round garden color, it prefers some protection from harsh summer sun and desiccating winds.
