Can you ID this golden pendulous conifer please

10 years ago

I just don't know conifers at all. Can you ID? Seen in the San Francisco bay area. It was about 20 feet tall, and really beautiful.

Cupressus macrocarpa 'Saligna Aurea' is a little more common and is nearly identical.

Doug is right. Sara is a master conehead-in-training.

Dave, I believe that 'Conybearii Aurea' is the new name for 'Saligna Aurea'. RHS lists 'Conybearii Aurea' with 'Saligna Aurea' as a syn.

Edwin (or anyone else), can you opine?
