The Green Globe Lawson Cypress is a true miniature – a tiny ball of evergreen foliage, that is richly green and naturally dense. After ten years it will be a round globe, 12 to 16 inches tall and wide, adding about one inch each year to its size. If you need a small round plant that will never outgrow the smallest place, this is it. Plant it as an accent in a small garden or courtyard. Use it in a planter box with other small plants. Create a miniature landscape in a large pot, with stones and gravel. Simply grow it in a pot for its intrinsic beauty. This unique plant is even more remarkable when you consider that its parent is a 200-foot-tall forest tree.
Your Green Globe Lawson Cypress will grow in all the milder zones, from 5 to 7, in any moist, well-drained soil. Plant it in full sun or light shade, and water it regularly until it is well established. It is tolerant of short periods of drought within a few years of planting. It has no significant pests or diseases, and despite its small size this is an easy plant to grow. It doesn’t even need or want clipping to keep that perfect neat, rounded form you will adore.
