I dont know what is wrong but that is a really beautiful color.

How big is it?

Aparently it leafs out light green.....

Ornamental Features:

Peve Minaret Baldcypress has attractive green foliage which emerges light green in spring. The ferny bipinnately compound leaves are ornamentally significant and turn an outstanding gold in the fall. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. The shaggy indian red bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape."

Yes, they can emerge light green, but 'Peve Minaret' should mature nice rich to dark green over the growing season. This above pic is exactly how the leaves/needles look all summer before they turn rust/brown in the fall. The plant is about 14 inches tall.

You might want to do a soil test to see what, if anything, is needed...or too abundant.

That sounds like the next logical step here, thanks. I'm more curious why no other plant would show signs of imbalance like this.

You might research 'Peve Yellow', you could just have a mis-labeled plant unless it was leafed out and green when you bought it?

that is an awful intense vibrant yellow for what i think of as chlorotic ...

am i wrong???

Couldn't that be something if it really is 'Peve Yellow' and the yellow color is normal. It was dormant when I planted it.

About the growth, it could just have been settling in from planting. 14 inches after 3-4 years means it was probably a young graft when you got it, maybe no more than 6-8 inches? Root surgery at planting? Hopefully you have a clean looking root flare at or slightly above grade? I'd give it consistent water throughout the year, hard to over water a taxodium, and see how it responds. Once the trunk starts to put on some caliper you'll know it's taken hold. I wouldn't assume it to be established and free range until you see better growth. You might also try to maintain a clear zone around the trunk, younger plants prefer mulch instead of ground cover plants until they are better equipped to compete.
