Mini Golden Mop Threadbranch Cypress — Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Golden Mop'

This wee shrub wears the brightest yellow in full sun, shifting greener in partial shade, with an amber "winter's blush" in cold months. It will grow up and out into a globe shape.

Sheer annually in winter to keep it bushy. Trim the foliage only — never cut into the branch, it won't come back.

At 2", this is the perfect size to start an entirely tiny-scale garden of its own — or to tuck in as a smaller accent layer alongside our 4" trees, adding depth and variety to your design without crowding it.

• Shape: Globe
• Growth rate: 3"–6"/yr, slower in colder states
• Cold hardy Zone 4–8 or -30°F
• Heat zone 8–1

This is a young plant and will need a little extra shelter from weather extremes while it gets established.

**Photos show cut-marks from the grower, the plant will "grow-out"
