Description
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Wissel's Saguaro' is a variety of Lawson's Cypress with moderate growth, interesting for its picturesque fastigiate habit that resembles a candelabra. This mutation of the cultivar 'Wisselii' presents lateral branches that develop vertically in an irregular manner. Its dark blue-green foliage remains decorative throughout the year. Its sculptural silhouette deserves to be highlighted in the garden. To be grown in a sunny exposure, fertile soil, even limestone and not too dry.
The Lawson's Cypress, in Latin Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, is a majestic conifer of the cypress family native to the humid coastal forests of the northwest United States. In its environment, it often reaches more than 30 m (98 ft 5 in) in height, with a trunk approaching 1.20 m (3 ft 11 in) in diameter. Its habit is straight and conical, and its trailing branches form soft curtains dressed in fairly dark green foliage with bluish reflections. It has given rise to numerous cultivars among which there is a wide choice of plants of modest stature, better adapted to the size of our gardens.
The variety 'Wissel's Saguaro' shows a perfectly columnar habit, particularly narrow when young. Over the years, it develops horizontal branches at the base, rising towards the sky, very visible on the periphery of the growth. At the age of 10, this conifer measures about 1.50 m (4 ft 11 in) in height. Eventually, it will form a small tree 5 m (16 ft 5 in) tall by 1.50 m (4 ft 11 in), or even 2 m (6 ft 7 in) wide. It produces slender and flattened branches covered with crisped leaf-like scales. The colour of the foliage is a slightly bluish, dark green.
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Wissel's Saguaro', a true growing sculpture, is suitable for ornamenting a large rockery and small gardens. It can be planted prominently as a specimen. The architectural qualities of dwarf conifers deserve to be more often invited into our gardens, as they provide a permanent structure. These plants fade into the background in summer and assert themselves again in winter, when flowering has deserted our gardens. Perfect in a contemporary setting, conifers also have their place in more classic, even romantic landscapes: they mark pathways, border terraces, and highlight the corner of a large shrub bed. To accompany Lawson's Cypress 'Wissel's Saguaro', consider ground cover plants such as cerastiums or achilleas for example. Cyclamens also form beautiful flowering carpets in autumn or late winter, they will be perfect to dress the base of this conifer.

Planting and care
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Wissel's Saguaro' should be planted in spring or autumn, in any well-drained, but not too dry, slightly acidic or neutral, or even slightly alkaline soil. This conifer thrives in full sun (in a fairly humid climate) or partial shade. Regularly water the young plants during the months following planting. It is not too demanding of soil quality, but it suffers in excessively dry and arid conditions. It is a species of cool, oceanic or mountain climates. This bush does not tolerate pruning too well, but you can remove any unsightly or obstructive branches. Remove branches that have uniformly green foliage and are much more vigorous, which could potentially appear.
Some varieties of chamaecyparis are particularly sensitive to a disease caused by a fungus called phytophthora, which can lead to their decline. Root rot, which thrives in moist soil, is a fungus that can develop on the roots of this conifer. When the fungus becomes visible on the trunk, it is too late to save the tree.

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.
