Didn't have much if any brown after first winter in the ground. It was a mild winter and is in a protected site but most of my C. obtusa will have some brown after winter. Gold color is nice but will turn green if not in enough sun. I have other varieties that hold their color better in part-shade but this is still a nice variety.

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.
