You can well imagine the excitement of the 1849 goldminers in California looking into streams and seeing bright, beautiful golden nuggets shining up at them, far outshining anything else in their environment. This is the reaction that ´Gold Rider´ will prompt in your garden. We have found this plant to not be susceptible to sunburn , and a little slower growing than the regular leyland cypress. Whether used as a beacon of color in a solitary setting, or in groups as an unbelievably vibrant screen, ´Gold Rider´ will be a shining star in the garden.
