Its most striking feature is its brilliant golden-yellow foliage. New growth in spring often emerges with an orange tint, transitioning to bright yellow, which stands out beautifully against the slightly greener interior foliage. In colder climates, the yellow may deepen to a handsome bronze in winter, adding another layer of seasonal appeal. It grows into a dense, narrow, upright pyramidal or columnar shape. This makes it ideal for situations where a vertical accent or a screen in a limited space is needed.
