Description

This fine-looking, small garden tree is popular for its subtle foliage colour variations. The leaves of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Ellwood’s Gold are mid-green and the tree itself has an upright, flame shape. It is at the upswept tips of the green foliage that Ellwood’s Gold Cypress Tree has yellow colouration. The yellow tips of the foliage look most impressive close-up and so this Lawsons Cypress makes a great choice for planting near seating areas or pathways.

This small evergreen tree will grow to 4 x 1 metres in 20 years and requires a moist but well-drained position away from bad exposure. The perfect tree for year-round interest, adding texture, colour and form to a garden.

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.
