A mounding, globose to broadly conical, dwarf evergreen shrub which features golden, fine-textured, thread-like foliage on stringy, weeping branches. New growth foliage emerges bright gold but eventually matures to lime green. Very slow growing, it can easily be kept smaller with minimal pruning. Produces few if any cones. Deer resistant. Uses include vertical accent, hedges/screening, rock/alpine gardens and general landscaping.
