Saguaro Cypress - Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Wissels Saguaro'

Called the Saguaro Cypress because it looks like a Saguaro Cactus. The upright form makes this an excellent anchor tree for the miniature garden. It's a tight, narrow shape that is perfect for small spaces.

The Lawson Cypress can be grown indoors or outdoors. Note that some websites say it can't be grown indoors, but other website say it can. I've always considered it a conifer that can be grown both ways so it's especially valuable to a miniature gardener, because it's one of the few indoor trees that can look like a full-sized garden tree but in miniature.

**Plants are about 14" tall right now. Note that the shipping costs might be a bit higher, because it's a LOT taller than most of our other trees.
