Found by Andy Sherwood (Gresham, OR), this light green noble has golden tips, supposedly due to the parent tree of the cultivar being struck by lightning in the Mt. Hood wilderness. No matter what its origins, there can be no doubt that this slow growing golden-tipped beauty will provide an interesting color contrast (and conversation piece) for the small, medium or large garden.
