Cupressocyparis 'Mellow Yellow'

How to grow Cupressocyparis 'Mellow Yellow' in NZ

Grow Cupressocyparis 'Mellow Yellow' in full sun in a suitable sheltered position, using soil with reliable drainage. Choose a permanent position allowing for mature roots and foliage.

Cupressocyparis 'Mellow Yellow' care tips

Care for Cupressocyparis 'Mellow Yellow' by matching moisture and feeding to its growing season. Water deeply while establishing and during prolonged drought, avoiding constantly saturated soil. Refresh mulch annually without piling it against the trunk. Feed conservatively in spring if growth needs support. Remove damaged branches and trim green growth lightly when necessary. Avoid cutting back into old bare wood, as many conifers do not regenerate well from heavy pruning.
