Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Cream Ball'

Sawara Cypress

Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Cream Ball' is a compact dwarf, globose selection of Sawara cypress with cream-colored, and finely textured semi-juvenile foliage. It grows in the form of a very tight ball when young and is sometimes vulnerable to sun scald. It is a great choice for Rock gardens and troughs. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 18 inches tall and 2 feet wide, an annual growth rate of less than 2 inches.
