This lovely conifer comes from China and Korea and has been adding charm to gardens for more than 1,000 years. Gardeners still love it today for its dependable growth and bright appearance.

The ‘Aurea Nana’ form is perfect for smaller gardens where space matters. It naturally grows into a neat, rounded shape without needing any pruning. The beautiful golden-green needles keep their colour all year round, bringing light to gardens even during dreary winter months.

This hardy conifer suits our climate perfectly, coping well with changeable weather. It’s excellent for town gardens as it tolerates pollution and grows at a steady pace, usually reaching just 1-1.5m tall over many years. The slow growth means it stays manageable.

The thick, fan-shaped needle clusters add lovely texture to planting schemes. During winter months, the foliage develops gentle bronze hints for added appeal. It’s ideal for bringing structure to borders or making feature points in compact spaces.

These compact trees work in many different settings. They look great in rockeries, gravel areas, and pots. They’re especially useful for adding height to patio arrangements or beside doorways. Their tidy growth makes them perfect for easy-care gardens.

The ‘Aurea Nana’ is very robust once it gets going. It grows well in both sunny and partly shaded areas and isn’t particular about soil type, though it likes good drainage. It also copes well with dry spells once established.
