Cupressus ovensii (Ovens Cypress)

Growing Conditions and Care

Ovens Cypress thrives best in full sun but can tolerate light shade. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot, so avoid heavy clay or waterlogged areas. This conifer is drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for gardens with low irrigation. Regular watering during the first year helps develop a strong root system. Occasional pruning after the growing season promotes a dense and neat appearance. Fertilize lightly in spring for optimal growth.
