Description:
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Yellow Transparent' is a slow-growing, evergreen conifer known for its unique sulphur-yellow, translucent foliage that adds a distinctive touch to gardens. Its narrow, upright form makes it suitable for various landscape applications. This cultivar thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers a position with morning sun, which helps maintain its vibrant yellow colour while protecting it from intense afternoon heat. In Melbourne's climate, providing some afternoon shade can be beneficial.
