Description
Introducing the Fernspray Compact Cypress (Chamaecyparis Obtusa Filicoides Compacta), a uniquely captivating evergreen tree that adds a touch of elegance to any landscape. This distinct cypress variety features branches resembling delicate fern fronds, with each arching branch tapering to a small point. Its graceful and open habit can be left unaltered or pruned to maintain a more compact form, offering versatility in various garden designs.
Appreciated for more than just its form, the Fernspray Compact Cypress boasts attractive bluish-green foliage with subtle hints of powder blue. In spring, the foliage emerges in a refreshing chartreuse hue and retains its bluish-green color throughout the winter. The addition of brick-red branches provides an extra layer of visual interest, making it a year-round focal point in your outdoor space.
This evergreen tree is not only visually appealing but also relatively low-maintenance. Regular watering and well-draining soil contribute to its overall health. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it adapts well to different soil types and pH levels. Its high tolerance to urban pollution makes it suitable for inner-city environments, and a thick mulch application in winter protects it in colder climates.
The Fernspray Compact Cypress is an excellent choice for those seeking an ornamental accent or an elegant evergreen screen. Its pyramidal shape and refined structure lend a touch of sophistication to any garden setting. With a slow growth rate, this tree promises enduring beauty, living for 70 years or more with proper care. Whether used for hedges/screening, as an accent, or in general garden applications, it adds a unique and sophisticated element to your outdoor environment.
