This unjustly maligned hybrid plant is a cross between Alaska cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkaensis) and Monterey cypress (Cupressus.macrocarpa). Used responsibly and maintained properly it makes an invaluable fast-growing screening plant. It has a preference for moist, but well-drained soils in open, sunny or shaded positions away from drying winds. It also makes a very good value-for-money topiary subject and we usually have a few designs available in stock. All forms have spray-like foliage and that of the species plant is dark green. '2001' ('Pyramidalis') is a pyramidal form of very regular habit and requires less frequent trimming. The foliage of 'Castlewellan' is golden tinted when young, maturing to bronze-green. 'Gold Rider' is considered to be the best golden form. The foliage of 'Variegatus' is flecked with splashes of creamy yellow.
We are able to supply plants from 1m up to 5m high which are heavy weight plants for instant hedges.
