Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Fernspray Gold' (Hinoki Falsecypress 'Fernspray Gold') brings year-round structure and bright color to beds, borders, and foundation plantings. You will notice its distinctive, fernlike sprays that emerge yellow to golden and can deepen to greener tones toward the interior, creating a layered look even when the plant is not in active growth. Its tidy, upright form makes it easy to use as a specimen or as part of a mixed evergreen planting.

Place it where it can receive full sun to part shade; more sun typically encourages the strongest golden color, while light shade can help in hotter sites. Give it moist, well-drained soil, and water consistently during establishment so roots can expand into the surrounding soil. Once established, maintain even moisture during prolonged dry spells to keep foliage looking full and healthy.

At maturity, expect roughly 60-84 inches in height with a moderate spread (about 24-48 inches). Minimal pruning is needed; if you choose to shape it, do so lightly and avoid cutting back into old, bare wood. Mulch the root zone to moderate soil temperature and reduce moisture loss, but keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk. In winter, protect from drying winds where exposure is severe, and enjoy the evergreen texture and color it adds to the landscape.
