Isn't it a beautiful thing Oji...? I don't say that often about Conifers.

I'm thinking Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, but as to the specific cultivar not sure. There are some that have this congested foliage and broken form rather than the normal flame shape.
Similar-ish;

I Knew you would know 7 :)
This is not a good show...Usually a lot more red.

I'm going to say if not exactly this one then a similar looking cultivar;
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Wisselii'

Lol Michaela..It is like this right now... So get going. I love it too.
Mum is gradually clearing her garden 7, I filled in a 20'X 14' pond yesterday. This tree stood at the top of a water cascade/ rockery. It is staying put !

Nice one Pimp, preservation order ;)

I can't help, but I can see why you wouldn't want to cut it down. It's beautiful and seems very happy, with all that fabulous coloured new growth.
