Lawson Cypress ‘Royal Gold’ – Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Royal Gold’ is a striking evergreen conifer that brings a touch of golden elegance to UK gardens. This medium-sized tree is prized for its vibrant, golden-yellow foliage that maintains its colour throughout the year. ‘Royal Gold’ typically grows to a height of 4-6 metres over 20 years, forming a neat, conical shape that adds structure and year-round interest to any garden setting.
The foliage of ‘Royal Gold’ is its standout feature. The soft, scale-like leaves are arranged in flat sprays, creating a delicate, feathery texture. The golden-yellow colour is particularly vivid on new growth, creating a lovely contrast with the slightly darker mature foliage. This bright colouration is maintained throughout the year, providing a constant source of warmth and brightness in the garden.
This variety of Lawson Cypress is well-suited to the UK climate. It’s hardy and can cope with cold winters, though it appreciates some shelter from harsh winds. ‘Royal Gold’ thrives in full sun, which helps to maintain its vibrant colour, but it can also tolerate partial shade.
Gardeners will appreciate the relatively low-maintenance nature of this tree. It doesn’t require regular pruning to maintain its shape, though you can trim it lightly if desired. ‘Royal Gold’ is also tolerant of a range of soil types, as long as they’re well-drained.
Lawson Cypress ‘Royal Gold’ adds a bright focal point to the garden throughout the year. Its golden foliage provides a lovely contrast to green plants and can help to lighten up shady areas of the garden. Whether you’re looking to add some evergreen colour, create a low-maintenance focal point, or establish a beautiful specimen tree, Lawson Cypress ‘Royal Gold’ is a versatile and attractive choice for UK gardens.
Lawson Cypress ‘Royal Gold’ is relatively easy to care for in UK gardens. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun for best colour, though it tolerates partial shade. Water regularly when young, but once established, it’s fairly drought-tolerant. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning isn’t essential, but you can shape it in late winter if needed. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring.
