Cool cups of foliage lend movement and individual character to this narrow, upright golden Hinoki. Bright gold-over-green foliage is especially showy in the winter garden, but striking and useful throughout the year. Use in tighter landscape spots where plants will get some sun to promote the lighter tips and get some shade to filter the harshest rays of summer. Prefers moist, well-drained soil. Iseli text.

The name means "spirit of the land" in Swahili, a reference to the cultural significance of forest trees around the world, including in Oregon, where this cultivar was discovered. Unique, finely textured, filament-like foliage creates an open, airy quality distinct from other small cultivars. The elegant, rounded tree grows very slowly and stays low and small. Use in container, trough or small setting where the refined beauty and strong spirit will grace the garden in every season. Iseli text.

This is a very dense irregular upright, and pyramidal selection of Hinoki False Cypress that was introduced at Iseli Nursery, in Boring, Oregon. The plant had been purchased at Mitsch Nursery in the mid to late ‘70’s, and accompanied a shipment of large ‘Nana Gracilis’, which it was not like. Jean Iseli named the plant for his propagator, Paul Halladin, when he had no other name for it. It is very slow growing, and dense with foliage of minute kelly green overlapping sprays. I have seen similar plants called ‘Nana’, but this is larger than a miniatue, growing to 6 feet in height. It is very handsome. Zone 5. Howse text.

For the smallest site, this tight, rounded bun almost doubles as a mossy green rock. It has dense, finely textured green foliage and grows so slowly that it won't outsize a trough or rock garden. The compact cushion, which is hardy, tough and resilient, is wider than it is tall. Occasionally, short feathery plumes will sprout out among the fine foliage, adding character and dimension to the tiny mound. Iseli text.

Now you can get that out of your system before you visit the nursery and maul our display troughs. 'Tschi -Tschi', also listed as Chi-Chi, by nurseries that apparently think Ginkgo originated in Mexico is indeed a botanical classic. How could you pass up a Ginkgo with breasts? Hey they even sag with age albeit more slowly than human ones. Even a thousand years from now the future, owners of your property can gaze in wonder at your kinky taste. Arrowhead text.

A dwarf, rounded deciduous tree with green leaves. Branching is dense and compact, and 'Tschi tschi' makes an unforgettable golden autumn display. Prefers sun/partial shade in well-drained soil. 4' tall x 3' wide in 10 years. Hardy to -30 degrees. USDA zone 4. Buchholz text.

Juniperus chinensis ‘Daub’s Frosted’

Iseli Nursery USA

Sport of Mordigan Gold. Does not burn in full sun. Outstanding border plant. Brilliant yellow new growth with shaded/older growth a light lime green. The two tone color and frosted texture of this plant is an eye catcher. When it is used as a border with other conifers it draws attention and contrast to green and gold conifers. While the plant is reported to be suitable in USDA zone 4 I live in zone 3. Where/when snow does not cover the plants for the winter I simply throw a small square of old landscape fabric over the plants to prevent burning in the early spring sun. It has a reported 10 year spread of 3-5 ft. The pictured plant was purchased as a 3 gal. and at the time of the picture was in the bed for 3 years. Ken Church text in ACS database.

This low, spreading juniper is especially appealing: it develops new, bright, golden-yellow growth that points in all directions above the bluish-green, feathery, interior foliage. A lively selection for a sunny, well-drained bank or other challenging site where a reliable bit of color is needed. Iseli text.
