Decorative all year round, it naturally maintains its regular and fairly wide pyramid shape. Highly appreciated for forming a hedge, it will also be very useful for providing the evergreen structure of the garden. To be grown in a sunny position, in moist and even chalky, fertile soil.

Description

The Chamaecyparis lawsoniana Stardust is a golden-leaved Lawson cypress with moderate growth and a fairly wide but dense conical habit. Its slow growth, tolerance to light and repeated pruning, and its excellent screening power make it a perfect tall hedge tree. Elegant, very bright, and decorative all year round, it is also suitable for planting as a specimen tree in the garden. While not difficult to grow, this conifer appreciates sun, and cool, fertile, deep, but well-drained soil.

The Lawson Cypress, sometimes called false cypress, is a majestic conifer of the Cupressaceae family native to the moist coastal forests of the northwest United States. In its natural habitat, it often reaches over 30m (98.4ft) in height, with a trunk approaching 1.20m (3.3ft) in diameter. It has an upright and conical habit, and its drooping branches form soft curtains adorned with fairly dark, bluish-green foliage. It has given rise to numerous cultivars, among which there is a wide selection of plants of more modest stature, better suited to the size of our gardens.

The 'Stardust' variety is a golden-leaved form of this species that will reach approximately 6m (19.7ft) in height and 3.50m (11.5ft) in spread after many years if not pruned. Its growth is rather slow. From a young age, it exhibits a regular, fairly wide, and very dense conical habit, supported by erect branches emerging from the base of the trunk. Its slender and flattened branches are densely covered with scale-like leaves that are initially golden yellow, gradually turning greener over time.

The Chamaecyparis lawsonia 'Stardust' can be used as a hedge, a specimen plant or planted in a grove in a large garden. It does not require pruning, but it can tolerate light pruning. With a real presence and strong personality, it is quite challenging to pair with other large shrubs, but it plays its role perfectly as a bright screen at the back of shrub or perennial beds. The architectural qualities of conifers deserve to be more frequently introduced to our gardens, as they provide a permanent structure. These plants are reserved in summer, reasserting themselves in winter, when floral displays have deserted our gardens.

Chamaecyparis, False cypress: planting, pruning and caring for

Read article

Chamaecyparis are among those conifers with dense, scaly foliage appreciated for the making of hedges, notably the Chamaecyparis lawsoniana species, surprisingly used in its typical form. It is nevertheless one of the conifers that has produced the greatest number of cultivars (over 200!) such as Alumii with very compact, bluish foliage and a conical form of 3 to 4.50 m or Ellwoodii, much used in hedges. The wild form, capable in cultivation of reaching 36 m in height with a trunk of 1.20 m diameter, comes from the north‑west United States, like the giant Thuja. Its branchlets, tinged dark green or bluish green, with slightly trailing tips, give it a remarkable, somewhat phantasmagorical undulating appearance while its variety Aurea Densa forms a spectacularly compact golden column. Sawara cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera) and Japanese Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) also offer a range of dwarf or moderately vigorous cultivars, with filamentous or, conversely, blunt branchlets, with a fern‑like habit (<a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/shrubs/conifers/conifers-by-variety/chamaecyparis/chamaecyparis-obtusa-teddy-bear-hinoki-cypress.html">C. obtusa Teddy Bear</a>), acidular in <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/shrubs/conifers/conifers-by-variety/chamaecyparis/chamaecyparis-obtusa-wissel-hinoki-cypress.html">obtusa Wissel</a> in very attractive golden, bluish or intense green colours. The word 'Chamaecyparis' is derived from Greek and means 'cypress‑shaped', given the strong resemblance of its conical habit and its aromatic foliage made of small imbricate scales. However, Cupressus occupy dry, sunny southern areas while Chamaecyparis grow in sheltered, moist, often coastal areas. Chamaecyparis are not demanding about the nature of the soil, provided it is fresh, well‑drained and not excessively calcareous. The species lawsoniana shows a strong susceptibility to the Phytophthora fungus that decimates its wild population in the United States as well as in gardens where the disease is often spread by nurseries. And although they prefer fertile, deep humus, they adapt to less favoured ground, with moderate growth and reduced luxuriance. Avoid pruning them as much as possible.

Planting and care

The Chamaecyparis lawsonia 'Stardust' is best planted in spring or autumn, in light, moist soil rich in humus, sandy, slightly acidic, neutral or slightly chalky. This conifer thrives in the sun (in a fairly humid climate) or at a pinch in partial shade. Regularly water the plants during the months following planting. This conifer is not too demanding of soil quality, but it suffers in dry and hot soils and climates. It is a species of cool, oceanic or mountain climate. This tree does not require pruning, but it tolerates it if light: shorten the young branches, without going back to the old, bare wood.
