Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Tsukumo'

Common Name: Tsukumo False Cypress, Tsukumo Sawara False Cypress

For the smallest site, this tight, rounded bun almost doubles as a mossy green rock. It has dense, finely textured green foliage and grows so slowly that it won’t outsize a trough or rock garden. The compact cushion, which is hardy, tough and resilient, is wider than it is tall. Occasionally, short feathery plumes will sprout out among the fine foliage, adding character and dimension to the tiny mound. (Iseli Nursery)
