The Cedar Rapids™ False Cypress or Chamaecyparis pisifera is a lush evergreen that adds color, texture, and privacy to a landscape. The feathery foliage is lime green and stays in place year-round. The scale-like fronds grow on woody branches. This plant is very easy to maintain, with established plants requiring little, if any, care.

This plant has a natural pyramid shape with a narrow form, and can create a stunning living privacy screen when planted en masse. Shield a patio space or create a wind block while adding color to a landscape. Mature trees stand 30 feet tall for an impressive statement. Grow the Cedar Rapids™ False Cypress as a perennial in zones 4 through 8.

Cedar Rapids™ False Cypress Care

Plant the Cedar Rapids™ False Cypress in full to part sun. This evergreen needs at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day. Average soil is fine, but the plant will do best in fertile soil that is moist and well drained. Newly planted shrubs need water consistently for the first year, while established plants are drought tolerant. While mature trees can handle dry conditions, supplemental water during an extended dry spell helps the plant thrive.

Fertilize Cedar Rapids™ False Cypress with a plant food formulated for evergreen shrubs to support new growth. Apply fertilizer once per month for the first growing season and water it in well. Remove dead or damaged growth at any time.

Cedar Rapids™ False Cypress Spacing

The Cedar Rapids™ False Cypress stands 30 feet tall and 12 to 15 feet wide. Space plants 10 to 13 feet apart to create a hedge.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
