A large evergreen shrub can anchor any landscape and provide year-round color. Haywire False Cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) is a new choice for gardeners who want a reliable evergreen that’s also easy to maintain. With its upright and pyramid-like shape, this shrub adds evergreen texture to the landscape with its threadleaf foliage. By maturity, it will stand 12-plus feet tall and 6 feet wide near the base.
Make a statement with Haywire False Cypress as a landscape focal point or as a screening plant to block out air conditioners or other eyesores. Once established, this big shrub needs no help. It rarely needs pruning. This winter stunner will thrive in zones 5 through 7 and is native to Western North America. The easy-care, long-lasting shrub that can serve as a low tree is grown for its pretty evergreen foliage.
Haywire False Cypress Care
Choose a spot for Haywire False Cypress that gets at least 4 hours of sun a day, up to full sun. The sun is necessary to penetrate its thick layers of leaves and branches and ensure health and growth. Make sure to place it in soil that drains well, not in a spot where soil stays soggy to prevent root rot.
After planting, maintain even watering and mulch around the root zone of the shrub to help keep the ground cool and just damp enough. This shrub needs no other help, and there is no need to prune it. If you want to prune it for shape, prune lightly in spring. There also is no need to fertilize the shrub unless it is growing in the poorest soils.
Haywire False Cypress Spacing
To create a privacy screen or border, plant several Haywire False Cypress shrubs together, accounting for their mature size. Space the plant 5 to 6 feet apart from center to center.

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.

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.
