Chamaecyparis lawsoniana

Lawson Cypress

Commonly known as the Lawson Cypress, this is a large conifer with an upright growth habit. The foliage is feathery, somewhat loosely held, and green-yellow in colour. Older foliage does tend to be dark green. It grows with a pyramidal habit and can reach 50 m tall and 15 m wide. It grows best on a well-drained site in full sun, and is tolerant of frost, coastal environments, cool climates, and wind. This low maintenance conifer is commonly grown for shelter, trimmed into a large hedge, planted for erosion control, or grown as a specimen in a park or large garden.
