Luminous golden green foliage, which has a fresh citrus scent when bruised, forms in a soft cone shape. A slow-growing conifer, it is excellent for pots, and will also make a handsome stand-alone specimen. Alternatively, it can be used for hedging, and once well established, it becomes tolerant of dryer conditions.
