Crippsii Golden False Cypress 1 Live Plant – Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Crippsii’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Crippsii Golden False Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Crippsii’) is an ornamental evergreen conifer valued for its bright golden-yellow foliage and elegant, naturally pyramidal growth habit. A selection of Hinoki false cypress, this plant produces flattened sprays of scale-like foliage that create a soft, layered texture throughout the year. Its golden outer growth contrasts attractively with the deeper green foliage toward the interior of the plant.

This evergreen makes a distinctive addition to foundation plantings, mixed borders, specimen displays, and conifer gardens. Its structured branching and colorful foliage provide year-round visual interest, while its upright form adds texture and contrast among broadleaf shrubs and flowering perennials. The golden coloration is generally strongest in locations with good sunlight.

Crippsii Golden False Cypress prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It benefits from consistent moisture during establishment and protection from excessively dry conditions. This listing includes one live Crippsii Golden False Cypress in a 3 gallon nursery pot.
