Sawara Cypress ‘Tsukumo’ (Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Tsukumo’)

Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Tsukumo' is an ornamental dwarf conifer highly prized for its extremely compact habit and dense, finely textured foliage. It forms a small, rounded, irregular, almost sculptural mass, reminiscent of a tight plant cushion, ideal for rockeries, Japanese gardens, neat borders, and container planting. Its deep dark green evergreen foliage maintains a neat and structured appearance all year round, bringing stability and contrast to landscape designs. With very slow growth, it retains its small size for a long time, making it an excellent choice for small spaces and durable, low-maintenance compositions. Very hardy and well-suited to Quebec conditions, Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Tsukumo' prefers well-drained soil and a sunny to partially shaded exposure.
