Japanese Cedar 'Hungarian Gold'

A standout selection of the Japanese Cedar, Hungarian Gold is a luminous evergreen that forms a graceful, slender pyramidal shape. It is most celebrated for its dense, feathery foliage that glows with a brilliant sulfur-yellow hue, providing a warm, "sunny" focal point even on the most overcast days. Unlike other conifers that can look dull in the colder months, this variety intensifies in color during the Winter, offering a rich, bronzed-gold luster. Its soft-textured branches are highly prized for winter arrangements and wreaths, as the vibrant needles remain fresh and colourful long after cutting. Perfectly suited for medium-sized gardens, it can be easily maintained with light pruning or allowed to reach its stately natural height.
