It is very hardy, but still we recommend planting coloured varieties in sheltered locations if you live in mountainous regions or frost pockets so that the cypress is protected from the worst winds and winter sun. All plants will survive but might look unsightly in the spring. Pruning can be done in early spring or in late autumn. It is tolerant of all types of pruning. It prefers moist, slightly acidic soil but is widely adaptable.
