Cypress trees and shrubs, especially Lawson cypress varieties, are very popular for their variable shapes, leaf types and colours.

Ellwood’s Gold is a newer Lawson cypress selection from Ellwoodii variety. Ellwood’s Gold has all the features of its forerunner apart from color. Its shade is soft green with some yellowish-green tips when they emerge and in late autumn when they mature. It is a slow growing, evergreen conifer of very dense growth and columnar habit. It keeps its perfect shape of a fat pillar without a single cut and forms multiple tips at the top which makes it look rather attractive especially among single-leader plants. It requires no care or pruning.

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