Wisselii is a gorgeous variety of Lawson cypress. It was found by a Dutch grower F. van der Wissel in 1888. It is an evergreen conifer of strictly upright, columnar growth and picturesque habit. Its branches are covered with scale-like, emerald green needles.

Wisselii cypress grows rather slowly, and can be only 1 meter tall at the age of 5 years. In maturity, which is anything over 50 years, it can reach as tall as 6 meters, and not more than 2 meters wide. Prune or shape it in mid spring or midsummer. Do not cut into old wood.

False cypress prefers moist but well-drained, slightly acidic soil but is adaptable to almost all types of soil. Grow it in full sun or half shade either in a garden bed or in an outdoor pot. Fully hardy to about -29°C (USDA zone 5).
