Variety description

The Limelight variety is an evergreen conifer characterized by a narrow conical or pyramidal crown. The needles have a delicate texture; in spring they are bright yellow, and for the rest of the year they acquire a lime-green hue.

At maturity, the tree reaches a height of about 6 meters with a crown width of up to 1.5 meters. The plant has high resistance to soil salinity and is drought tolerant after establishment. It possesses immunity to certain diseases, including cypress canker.

The tree is used in landscape design as a specimen plant, as well as for forming dense hedges and screens.
