Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Stardust' - 300/350cm, 50lt

Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Stardust' is a conical selection of the Lawson’s Cypress. It’s a compact, narrowly conical, evergreen, medium-sized, coniferous tree with a dense, feathery, pale green to yellowish-green, bronze-tipped foliage. Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Stardust' is low maintenance and hardy. Harsh winters don’t affect it much. It can tolerate almost any type of soil, as long as it is moist and well-drained, but prefers fertile, slightly acidic soils, in full sun. Very resilient and adaptable. It can withstand occasional drought, cold, heat and air pollution, but might need protection from harshest winds and winter sun. It doesn’t need pruning except when shaped to grow like a hedge. Foliage may cause skin irritation. Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Stardust' is great as a specimen plant, excellent for conifer beds, mixed borders, screens and hedging. Suitable for informal and cottage gardens and growing in cities since it is tolerant to urban conditions. It looks very impressive in late spring when new growth occurs.
