Wissel’s Saguaro Lawson Cypress

Chamaecyparis lawsonia 'Wissel's Saguaro'

When I bought this tree/shrub in 2015 the nursery tag read ‘Rare!’. I now see them everywhere, and I’m not surprised, this attractive conifer is probably very popular. A stalwart of my deck garden, it’s weathered really dry spells with aplomb and continues to be a fantastic accent that always looks great. I’ve had to knock off some dead needles around the trunk which I think is due to my underwatering in late summer, but new branches sprout from the trunk and recovers nicely.

    This conifer actually does pretty well in part shade without being rangy.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
