Baby Blue Sawara Cypress

Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Baby Blue'

I snapped this one up when I saw it tagged ‘best in part sun’. It does get a bit dry in its spot in the summer so the interior has gone a bit brown but appears happy and healthy as long as I don’t fiddle with it to look at the inside.

Additionally, John bought me two mini-sized sawaras that I planted in pots – one on the back deck, the other on the front steps.

UPDATE 2021: The deck stairs specimen is looking much brighter and bluer now that it’s getting more sun.

    Nursery Tag

    Slow growing to 6' x 4'. Best in part sun. Zones 4 - 8
