Can anyone identify this shrub/tree? Cypress-like leaves, yellow daisy flowers.
 

I visited friends at the weekend and was attracted by a shrub/tree in their
garden - but they don't know what it is. I suspect it is an evergreen. Its
leaves are something like cypress or yew, yet the flowers are like yellow
daisies, over an inch in diameter. I was looking at the shrub/tree from a
bedroom window but should estimate its height to be something like 6 to 8
feet. Apparently it is in flower for most of the year, except for about 3
weeks in September.

Can anyone help?

Sounds like Euryops, a number of different species around most are a bit
tender

Thanks, Charlie. I've just been on to the internet and found Euryops
pectinatus which certainly fits the bill. I've forwarded the page to the
friends.
