    Hello.
    Could anyone help to ID this tree for me please?
    It's about 13' high and it was planted by the first owner of my house, so 15 years+ ago. I have done quite some searching around the 'net' and have found similar but I'm afraid I'm out of my depth and cannot put a name to it.
    Thank you.

    Juvenile foliage cultivar of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana. There are many, the common one is 'Ellwoodii' but if I am seeing yellow tips on this one then it is another.

    Yes the tips of the leaves are slightly yellow.

    Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Ellwoods Gold'?
    Slow growing cultivar with juvenile foliage. Definitely not a dwarf but only a small tree.
    The one in the picture is the correct shape and the correct colour.

    Does look quite yellow on the one side.
