Cryptomeria japonica 'Tilford Gold'
Cryptomeria 'Tilford Gold' is a charming dwarf conifer valued for its bright golden foliage and naturally rounded growth habit. Similar in form to the popular 'Vilmoriniana', it develops into a dense, compact mound that provides year-round colour and structure in the garden. The fine, feathery foliage emerges in rich golden-yellow tones, creating a striking contrast against darker evergreens and surrounding planting. Its compact size and slow growth rate make it particularly useful in smaller gardens, where it delivers ornamental impact without becoming overwhelming.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, 'Tilford Gold' is ideal for rockeries, alpine gardens, containers and mixed borders. Its naturally neat shape requires little pruning, while its evergreen foliage ensures reliable colour and interest throughout every season.
