Intermediate Sawara Cypress
Use the fast-growing Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Squarrosa Intermedia’ to make outstanding, creative plant sculptures. Trained as silvery, blue-green elephants, bears, sea serpents or imaginative shapes, the long, whip-like, feathery branches fill in with fluffy, needle-like foliage. Cultivated since 1923, the broad, upright shrub maintains a moderate size, but requires semi-annual pruning to redefine its billowy, irregular forms and encourage new bluish growth. Use as focal point, topiary or high interest addition to rock garden, foundation or mixed bed.
