Japanese Lemon Thread False Cypress

Some things are worth the wait. Japanese False Cypress 'Lemon Thread' is one of those things. This slow grower will take 20 years to reach full height and width, but the impact it will make in your garden will be much bigger!

'Lemon Thread' is an evergreen that keeps its soft-looking bushy needle-like foliage all year long. It's not fair to call it an evergreen, though, as its color is truly a striking lemon-lime, emphasis on lemon. The yellow color lights up when you put it next to other evergreens, conifers or even a brick wall. In the dead of winter Lemon Thread bring a shot of much-needed color to your garden.

'Lemon Thread' grows well in average, well-drained soil in all but the shadiest conditions. (For the best yellow color, though, plant it in full sun!)

The soft texture is amazing. The needles/leaves look almost like they are dripping off of the plant.

Use Lemon thread as an accent or in groups. Either way it is going to be a star in your garden!
