Are you sure? The tree is yellow and the foliage is shaped differently to a normal sempervirens.

What size and colour are the cones? It may be a cv. sempervirens, plenty of yellow around but in the photo it looks green. It may also be Himalayan Cypress. c.torulosa. How would you describe the foliage? |

It looks like Cupressus sempervirens cv. "Swane's Golden".

The foliage is soft, it grows in lines rather than random but the lines are in random swirls. It is much more yellow than the photos show. The nuts are sempervirens size. Black Moses the bark is wrong for Himalayan Cypress. You may be correct Steve but the foliage looks softer on this one. Too many cultivars and not enough close up photos. |

This PDF may help you, pretty meticulous in the way it describes keying these out. Too large to load up here (9.6mb), click the link and save the PDF.  http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/biodiv...s/Schulz_2.pdf

If they are sempervirens size then guess what?(no brownie points for that answer). Colour, size, shape, even smell may indicate a different sp. Your description of the foliage is too general for an accurate ID. The bark means nothing in this case,as you have not provided a photo of it. The growth habit narrows it further. I am pretty certain I got it the first time, a c.sempervirens cv. Last edited by Paul Toivonen; 3rd December 2011 at 10:39 AM. | |
