Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Butterball’ is a true dwarf, evergreen conifer grown for its tight, rounded habit and warm, buttery-yellow foliage. The dense, fan-shaped sprays are softly textured and glow golden in good light, holding their colour year-round without scorching. Naturally forming a compact, ball-like mound with very slow growth, it requires no shaping and stays neat by itself. Ideal for rock gardens, containers, gravel planting, and the front of borders, ‘Butterball’ provides reliable structure and gentle colour where space is limited and refinement is important.
