#ProPlantTips for Care:
Cypress trees love the full sun, doing their best and displaying the most color in 6 hours of sunlight a day. Provide a well-drained location, but these are highly adaptable to most soil types, salt and coastal areas, heat, clay and even drought once established. Adaptable to pruning and shearing if a formal appearance is desired, they look just as nice when left to their own devices and grow into a fluffy-looking pyramid. Deer resistant and easy to care for, these are drought-tolerant, pest-resistant Conifers once they're established.
- Full Sun
- Prune or Shear When Needed
- Moderate to Low Moisture Once Established
- Tolerates Clay, Salt, & Rocky Soils
- Drought & Deer Resistant
