Grow Barry’s Silver Lawson Cypress in full sun for the strongest silver, but it will grow well in light partial shade as well. It is more resistant of hotter weather than many other forms of the Lawson cypress, and it grows well in any well-drained soil. It has moderate drought resistance, and pests and diseases are normally not problems. It resists salt spray, and can be trimmed, but its natural neat form makes that optional.
