Platycladus orientalis Aurea Nana or the Golden Biota is a conical shaped, evergreen small conifer tree or shrub.
It produces dense, erect sprays of bright yellowy-green foliage that make an attractive small specimen for gardens, going particularly well in rock gardens or gravel-scapes.
Best suited to cooler climates they will provide accent to smaller gardens, be happy in tubs or planters and can even be clipped as a low, dense hedge.
These are easy to grow and maintain plants that provide a good architectural element to small and medium sized gardens. As a result they are deservedly popular.
