The Lawson Cypress 'Ellwoodii' (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Ellwoodii') botanically belongs to the Cupressaceae family. It is a very ornamental evergreen conifer, small to medium height, upright in appearance and conical in shape. It has a moderate growth rate, needle-like leaves, greenish-green glaucous when young and silvery-glaucous when mature. The cultivation of the Ellwoodii variety does not present many difficulties as it is not often affected by pests and diseases. With the exception of clay soils, it adapts to a variety of soils with an acidic to neutral reaction, which retain moisture but have excellent drainage. The presence of moisture is also sought in the atmosphere, and in areas with hot summers it is recommended to be planted in semi-shaded locations. The Lawson Cypress 'Ellwoodii' is utilized in both gardening and landscape architecture as a dominant plant, in group plantings, or to create hedges.
► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the conifer plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large conifer shrubs and trees are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
