Swane's Golden Italian Cypress is primarily valued in the landscape for its rigidly columnar form. It has attractive gold-variegated lime green foliage which emerges gold in spring. The scale-like sprays of foliage are highly ornamental and remain lime green throughout the winter.
A very narrow column that is truly an exclamation point on the landscape; emerging foliage is a bright golden yellow that retains its color all season; planted in linear groups, it makes a great screen and a dramatic statement in a large landscape.
