'Gold Rush' is a fast-growing, pyramidal conifer has attractive chartreuse yellow, fern-like deciduous foliage which emerges yellow in spring. It holds its color well into summer, then turns orange brown in fall before dropping. Deeply fissured bark provides winter interest. Makes a fine hardy specimen tree. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. Deciduous. Deer don't really care for it.
