Read detailed description :

Beautiful golden foliage, compact, erect and conical vegetation. Browny-red bark, very resinous, yellow fruit. Normal soil even dry. Tolerates pruning and is an interesting plant for topiairies. A light trim will favour the appearance of colourful young shoots. The young foliage is a golden yellow in spring, paling later. Yellow cones. Resistant to sea spray and dry weather. Plant in flowerbeds or isolated, but sheltered from the North and very cold weather.
