How to Plant and Care for Cypress in NZ

Cypress trees are famously easy-care once established, but a little planning goes a long way. Choose a well-drained position with plenty of sun, and give young trees a good start with deep watering and a layer of mulch to retain moisture. Prune regularly in late winter or early spring to maintain a tidy shape, especially for hedging or screening. Cypress trees are robust, but watch for root competition and keep weeds in check for the healthiest results.
