More about Vintage Gold False Cypress...Noteworthy Characteristics
'Vintage Gold' is a slow-growing, compact, dwarf form of Sawara cypress that has stunning, golden-yellow, fern-like foliage that holds its color well throughout the season. This new introduction was found by Greg Stropkey at his Seven Springs Nursery in Painesville, Ohio. It was discovered as a sport on Chamaecyparis ‘Golden Mop’. Greg says he was out walking through his nursery fields one day when noticed one of the "mops" had a distinctly different look. He liked the soft, ferny foliage, so he took some cuttings and began to develop this impressive new variety. Some sources say 5-7 feet in height with a 2-3 foot spread, which would make it an upright with pyramidal form. Others say anywhere from 2 to 5 feet in height with equal spread and a mounding form. Either way, the foliage sure is a standout in our gardens and so far it looks like it will have a pyramidal form similar to that of its parent: 'Gold Mops', only with foliage that looks more ferny like a 'Crippsii' cypress.
Uses
