Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana Lutea’ is a stunning conifer that combines the superior features of C.o. ‘Nana Gracilis’ with the added beauty of vibrant golden new growth. This compact, slow-growing evergreen tree boasts an irregularly rounded form that matures into an upright, broad habit over time. Its dense, golden sprays of foliage brighten up any garden, particularly when planted in open, sunny spots. Nana Lutea is a valuable choice for year-round color and texture, offering a pop of yellow that stands out even in winter. To thrive, it benefits from some protection against harsh summer sun and drying winds, making it a perfect fit for sheltered garden spots.
