Description

Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Columnaris Glauca is one of the best upright blue Lawson's - a striking medium sized evergreen conifer. It exhibits fragrant, blue-grey foliage that is especially vibrant in summer and provides a wonderful feature in the winter garden. Lawson's cypress Columnaris Glauca has a columnar shape with narrow habit and is the ideal choice for an attractive screening hedge or a fantastic specimen tree.

Also known as a False Cypress, Columnaris Glauca is a hardy tree that grows well in both full sun or partial shade. It is tolerant of all soil types, preferring slightly acidic, well-drained conditions - it dislikes waterlogged soils. This beautiful conifer is suited to both exposed and sheltered positions, reaching a final height and spread of 3 x 1 metres in 10 years.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
