Description
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'White Spot' is a coniferous tree of the Cupressaceae family, from which it derives its common name of Lawson Cypress. This tree, sometimes also called false cypress, is native to the moist coastal forests of the northwest United States. In its environment, it often reaches over 30m (98ft) in height, with a trunk approaching 1.2m (4ft) in diameter. Its habit is upright and conical, and its trailing 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 modest stature, better suited to the size of our gardens.
'White Spot' is a variety discovered in 1943 in a nursery in Denmark (a spontaneous mutation of an existing variety). It has a fairly columnar habit and beautiful blue-green foliage. Its adult size is about 3m (10ft), possibly a little more, and its width is 1.5m (5ft). Very decorative in winter with its beautiful pale blue-green colour, it brings light to the garden at a time when it is much needed. The foliage displays young white shoots in spring, turning green in summer. Fine white marbling is scattered on the surface of the adult leaves, giving an overall blue-green visual aspect to this bush. Its growth is moderate during the first few years (20 to 30cm (8 to 12in)), until it reaches a height of 2 to 2.5m (7ft to 8ft) by the age of 10, with a width of about 1.2m (4ft). Then it continues to grow but its growth is much slower.
It is not strictly speaking a rockery conifer but it will fit perfectly in a small garden or within a bed, alongisde perennial plants or low bushes. Perfectly hardy, it nevertheless needs to be protected from strong winds. Quite adaptable to the nature of the soil (except limestone), it appreciates a certain level of humidity, provided it benefits from good drainage. Ordinary garden soil will suit it perfectly, with a sunny exposure or even partial shade. Its upright habit and bluish colour will elegantly blend with compact, yellow or orange foliage bushes, such as Japanese Spirea 'Double Play Gold'. In partially shaded exposure, the fantastic foliage colours of heucheras will allow for bold contrasts to be created.

Planting and care
Plant in spring or autumn, in light, humus-rich, or sandy, slightly acidic or neutral, moist but well-draining soil. It does not tolerate excessive limestone. This conifer thrives in full sun or partial shade. Regularly water the plants during the months following planting. This conifer is not too demanding on soil quality, but it suffers in excessively dry soils. Therefore, watering should be monitored in summer.
It is a species of cool, oceanic. or alpine climate.
This bush does not require pruning, but any unsightly or obstructive branches can be removed, avoiding cuts in the old wood.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
