Calocedrus decurrens 'Aureovariegata' grows less vigorously than the species C. decurrens and will eventually become a broad columnar tree 10 - 15 m tall. The foliage is similar in shape to the species; on red-brown twigs, the fan-shaped foliage grows ever so slightly overlapping. But where the foliage in the species is dark green, in 'Aureovariegata' it is spotted irregularly yellow. Randomly, scales are yellow or green. This is not limited to the young shoots, but can be seen throughout the tree.
Because of its smaller size, 'Aureovariegata' is suitable for use in (large) gardens. It grows in any soil type, including calcareous ones, provided it is not too wet. On wet soils, the tree is more likely to be affected by Phytophtora.
This old cultivar was found in Germany around 1904. Hardiness zone: 7a
