Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aurea'

(ACS) "Intermediate: 6-12" (15-30cm) per yr., 6-15' (1.8-4.5m) at 10 yrs; A golden-yellow thread-leaf form that becomes a small bushy tree in time."

(You can prune/shear these as well). Actually, now that I think about it you probably would be much better off with Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Golden Mops' which I don't have a photo of. (Much better plant for your situation though)

Good luck finding this stuff! You may need a genie!

Zen, good idea on the buffalo grass. Maybe I'm way off in saying what I said!!!

Anyway, cheers everyone!
