There’s nothing false about ‘Pinpoint Blue and Gold” Chamaecyparis lawsoniana. And that’s a big mouthful too. But this gorgeous evergreen has branches that makes it almost look like they are big, bluish green feathers tipped with gold, swaying gently in the wind. This tall conical shaped shrub is a standout in the landscape!
One thing people don’t like about evergreens is the fact that they are mostly prickly. But not Pinpoint Blue and Gold False Cypress! It is very soft to the touch making it ideal for use in the landscape where you can go right up to it or work around it and not worry about getting “stuck”. The coloration makes it easy to use in design as a focal point, as a mass planting or to use as a screen. It is a large shrub, growing to almost 8 ft. tall and 6 ft. wide at maturity. It is native to the Pacific Northwest and is sometimes called ‘Port Orford Cedar’.
Pinpoint® Blue & Gold False Cypress Care
Pinpoint Blue and Gold False Cypress rarely needs pruned except for a broken branch. It is particular about soil, it needs a very well-draining soil and should never be planted where there may be standing water after a storm. When planting, use a slow release fertilizer such as Espoma Holly Tone for acid loving plants. Pinpoint Blue and Gold is hardy from Zone 5a -7b.
Need some greenery for those winter containers? ‘Pinpoint Blue and Gold’ will add the right touch to those arrangements indoors and outdoors.
Pinpoint® Blue & Gold False Cypress Spacing
Space these shrubs 5 to 6 feet apart, center on center. If you are growing these into a hedge, plant closer to 5 feet apart. This will give enough space for the roots to grow when the plant reaches mature size, and also ensure the foliage gets enough direct sunlight.

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.

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).

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.
