Top Point Dwarf White Cedar - Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Top Point'

Lacy blue-green foliage on reddy-brown colored stems with an upright broad cone shape make this an excellent choice for the miniature garden. It really looks like a big tree in the landscape - but in miniature.

A fellow MG, Laney in Louisiana grows this plant with confidence in her climate. In the colder states the foliage turns blue-green in winter, and then blushes a wonderful plum color that makes a wonderful combination. 

• In winter, the foliage blushes a lovely plum color
• It can tolerate drier soil once established

• Growth rate is 2 to 5"/yr - about 2" here in the Seattle area

• If in a pot, let dry out to barely damp in between to avoid over watering
• Shelter the pot from the extreme hot sun in late afternoon in the summer
