Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Wissel's Saguaro', Wissel's Saguaro Cypress

Slow-growing, this sculptural evergreen has extremely congested foliage of deep green on twisting arm-like branches like that of a Saguaro Cactus. Its columnar habit will reach 6 feet in about 10 years. Plant it in a well-drained, full sun site that begs for a focal point or punctuation—a sculptural anthropomorphic form. If you're not watching, it might attempt a pirouette! Mature size: 6 ft T x 2-3 ft W in 10 yrs. Minimum temperature: -20° F
