Care

False Cypress Care

Fertilization is suggested, especially if soil is poor. Our slow release fertilizer is a great option. 

Naturally grows in a dense, pyramidal habit. New growth may be trimmed to shape in late spring. Keep well-watered after trimming to prevent browning of edges. Do not cut too hard or cut into thick stems, which will result in slow recovery.

More trimming may be required if multiple leaders develop. In this case, select a central leader and trim surrounding growth more drastically to suppress it and allow the chosen leader to take shape. For the best form, do not let the plant decide how it should grow – impose the shape on it once and it should stick.

Provide full sun to partial shade. Too much shade will cause growth issues. 

Water regularly, especially after planting prior to establishment. Attempt to keep soil moist but not wet.

This tree prefers soil that is well draining. 

Space 8' - 12' apart at a minimum.
