Cypress trees trees and shrubs are very popular for their variable shapes, leaf types and colours. Ivonne variety (or sometimes spelled Yvonne) has almost flat, soft needles of bright greeny-yellow colour from spring to summer, changing to golden-yellow in winter. It grows medium fast into a columnar shape when young, slightly wider at the base with age.
It is very hardy, but still we recommend planting coloured varieties in sheltered locations if you live in mountainous regions so that the cypress is protected from the worst winds. All plants will survive but might look unsightly in the spring. It is tolerant of all types of pruning. It prefers moist, slightly acidic soil but is adaptable to almost all types of soil. Fully hardy to approx. -29°C (USDA zone 5).
