      GPS Coordinates: 40°01'33.9"N 75°18'51.8"W

      The vibrantly colored evergreen Japanese Falsecypress has the scientific name of Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Plumosa,'​​​​ which translates to pea-bearing low-growing Cypress, which refers to its small cones. If it gets enough sun, the Japanese Falsecypress will retain its bright golden color all year. It is often planted to add year-round color to a garden and it is also used for timber.
