Chamaecyparis or Lawson Cypress

These are evergreen ornamental conifers. This is a particularly large conifer family with a lot of different varieties. Some that can grow large and are ideal for screening, wind break and adding that all important privacy to the garden and then you get the dwarf, slow growing conifers that look beautifully neat and tidy in a rock garden.

Check what it is you would like and make sure that you have space for the conifer to grow.
