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.
