Planted late spring 2008 in southwest exposure, zone 8, full sun. Requires heavy mulch and watering during late summer to minnimize foliage frongs from browning. The chartruse and golden hues are electricfying. This specimen resembles the 'Tetragona Aurea' expect the limbs to the 'Fernspray Gold' weep and curly. Pictures taken Winter08.
