Cupressus Nootkatensis lutea 
Garden Variety. 
Nat. Order: ConiFEeRa. Tribe : CuPRESSINE. 
Cupressus nootkatensts lutea, Hort, and Veitch, Manual, ed. ii. 219. 
This is a yellow form of C. Nootkatensis, and is one of the 
most ornamental trees of recent introduction. The young 
foliage is a bright yellow, changing to a soft yellowish-green 
as it becomes matured. It is a very fast grower, and has the 
graceful habit of the type. It is quite as hardy as Cupressus 
Nootkatensis, and as strong a grower. From its bright colour 
it is perhaps more suitable for the garden or the pinetum than 
for the park, but wherever placed it is a beautiful tree. 
Although it has not been introduced for more than ten 
years it has attained a height of more than sixteen feet here, 
and hasa circumference of thirty-three feet at the ground. 
This is owing, however, to its having been placed in very good 
rich soil, and in perfect shelter.
