I purchased a few of these beautiful 'Lemon Thread' or 'Sungold' False Cypress from Lowes in Spring 07, they are planted southwest in the yard; they require some shade late evenings here in zone 8. During spring thru summer the thread tips are chartreuse in color, as winter approaches the tips intensifies. Pictures from spring thru winter 08 will reveal this amazing transformation.
