Kings Gold Thread banch Cypress is best described as a mounding evergreen shrub, continuously showing off its rich golden color and adding a rare texture to landscapes with its uniquely shaped branches and stems. Kings Gold is both colorful and compact, reaching an equal height and spread of 3 ft. to 5 ft. This unique golden shrub is also widely adaptable and was perfectly developed for hot, humid Southern gardens where other evergreens have trouble thriving and retaining their color. Although it thrives in these warmer climates, Kings Gold is also cold hardy down to at least minus 20°F. This adaptability, as well as its more rounded form is what really sets the Kings Gold apart from other Thread branch varieties. Since it stays small, colorful and requires extremely little maintenance, Kings Gold has become quite popular for small urban landscapes, sidewalk planting and even border lining next to green companion plants.

Sometimes these gold plants need sun to develop the gold color. I'd put it where it gets at least six hours of sun. If it's the right plant, the color should reveal itself.
No, that means it is dead
This shrub can be trimmed as needed to maintain the desired size and shape. There's no hard and fast rule on how far back you can cut, but avoid cutting into old wood as it may not regrow. It's generally recommended to prune lightly and often rather than severely all at once.
Probably. Deer don't like evergreens generally
Monrovia cited it as moderate growing, but it described everywhere as a dwarf - which I interpret to mean 'possibly slower than average' growth first 10yrs. Definitely no more than 6 inches. Everything gets to a size in time.
I purchased 3 of these since I have a mature one already existing in my landscaping, the ones planted in shade are surveing, but the one in the sun is doing much better. On that one I can see the yellow in it and altho planted at the same time, is bigger
Mine is in shade 90% and doing well
