Scott,
This is one of my favorite yellow conifers. I love the texture and color it’s adds to the garden and so far the deer do not seem to like it too much. I see a few nibbles here or there but nothing the plant can’t recover from.
I agree with you Debbie, this along with C. obtusa ‘Melody’ and ‘Limerick’, i have used very effectively. Clients love them too!
Since moving from the east coast to the west, I haven’t given conifers the attention that they deserve in the landscape.
Your Chamaecyparis was one of my go to plants when planning out the architectural bones of a garden in the east.
Thanks for the visual treat and the reminder that conifers deserve an aureate / ‘aurea’ place in the garden.
Michelle, I am guilty of the same. I have found myself enamored with perennials of late, and have to remind myself of the beauty and function of conifers. I presented a planting plan today, actually, that was predominantly conifers. I was a pleasure to get back in the groove!
Thanks for your thoughts!
