Calocedrus Decurrens Berrima Gold

Common Name: Golden Incense Cedar

A striking evergreen conifer valued for its bright golden-yellow foliage and upright, narrowly pyramidal habit. Soft, flattened sprays emerge vivid gold and hold their color well throughout the growing season, often deepening slightly in cooler weather for added winter interest.

Growth is moderate and well-structured, forming a strong vertical accent with a refined, architectural presence.
