Gold-Green Year-Round Foliage + Weeping Form
Why Gold Mop Cypresses?
A dwarf shrub that delivers a new take on evergreen color, the Gold Mop Cypress lends a pop of bright foliage to plant beds, driveway borders and beyond. Especially since it couldn't be easier to grow, with cold-hardy adaptability and disease resistance that make it a true plant-and-forget variety.
But despite its carefree growth, it offers dramatic visual impact like you've never seen. Also known as the Golden Mop False Cypress, it's famous for its eye-catching golden color and a slight weeping form that lend contrast to traditional evergreen areas in your landscape.
Living up to its name with a ground-hugging, mounding form, it's well-suited to rock gardens and slope plantings but is perfect for placing almost anywhere. Since its finely-textured, vibrant lemon foliage is slow-growing, it doesn't require pruning, fertilizer, or extra fuss. And despite its delicate, weeping appearance that gives a hint of colorful, graceful movement with every breeze, it's a sturdy shrub that stands up to tough conditions.
Whether it's drought and frigid temperatures or even salty coastal air, the Gold Mop's gleaming hue stays true from season to season. So, when other colorful shrubs and trees in your neighbors' yards fade, your Golden Mop Cypress will continue to outshine the competition.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
Not only is this rare variety nearly impossible to find at chain garden centers, but it's also sold bare-root at big-box. Bare-root means leaving most of the roots behind when a shrub is transplanted, leaving you with a dying plant and a lower chance of long-term color.

I am disappointed in finding out that it’s a bush, not a tree.
I do like them ! But I noticed that they are not a tree as shown in photo. One of the plant experts said it is rather a bush. I am just a little disappointed. I had in mind that as a tree it would have blocked my hot tub for privacy if it grew to 5 ft.
You order by the size
You order by the size of the pot, but the Plant is not that big
My order arrived and I
My order arrived and I planted. But they don't look very good. All the green they arrived with is gone.
So far so good
Thus far it’s been a bit over a week since receipt and planting. The “mop” is doing well with a healthy color and no signs of distress. It was well packed and looks strong in its new home. I hope it will continue to thrive.
