With a southwestern exporsure, full sun in zone 8, would recommend heavy soil conditioner mixed during planting, include mulching and regularly water during mid to late summer to mininize browning of foliage. I planted these summer 07, did not provide regular watering nor did I fertilize this summer 08. But will provide recommendations this spring into summer, hoping for improvements!

I'm generally not wild about golden conifers that stand alone but they can be striking if placed among contrasting greens and blues.

This plant is a bright golden color and change to green as they mature. Prefers moist, well-drained, neutral soil. Needs some protection from winter winds.
