My golden chamaecyparis doesn't turn brown for winter. It's a brighter gold in spring, but still fairly gold all winter.

IC, I think I got my p.p. tani mano uki from Coenosium Gardens, but not really sure.
They have a web-site, but it's pretty clunky as I recall.
Very nice people to deal with; and very nice plants.
It's probably 10yrs old. It's about 5ft tall, but wants to be bigger.
I candle-prune it in spring to keep it compact enough for my planter.
It's in pretty full sun and doesn't scorch. So, maybe yours should be in a sunnier location.
I also have a pine in a too-shady spot, but it's doing fantastic so far, so I've left it where it is.
It's another p. parviflora, but I don't recall the cultivar. Here's a pix.
The top of the tree is cut off in the photo - it's about 4ft tall.
