Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Gitte’ is a miniature, slow-growing evergreen conifer prized for its compact form and bright golden foliage. The short, shell-like sprays are densely arranged, forming a tight, bun-shaped mound that remains naturally symmetrical without pruning. Fresh growth emerges in vivid yellow tones, holding strong colour in good light before softening slightly as it matures. Its restrained size and refined texture make ‘Gitte’ especially suitable for rock gardens, alpine beds, containers, and the front of borders where year-round structure and controlled growth are essential. Reliable and low maintenance, it brings consistent colour without overwhelming surrounding planting.
