Boulevard False Cypress
Chamaecyparis pisifera Boulevard
This is an attractive, semi-dwarf, evergreen conifer with a dense, upright and broadly pyramidal growth habit. It is a conical grower with soft, silvery blue-green awl-shaped leaves which are not prickly but curve nicely to a fine point along the compact branches. If it’s left exposed to strong winds the foliage takes on spectacular shades of bronze in the winter, making it ideal for incorporating into a rock garden or foundation planting. As a slow growing shrub, it also makes an excellent specimen plant for a small to medium-sized garden.
