Common name snow false cypress; sawara cypress Family cupressaceae Life cycle hardy shrub Light sun-part shade This specimen evergreen shrub produces white new growth, which is especially obvious early in the season. When we bought it, I thought it was a dwarf variety, but internet research suggests otherwise. We'll keep an eye on it, and may have to relocate it if it outgrows its present space.

The creamy white tips are more evident close-up

Late-season photo (taken in November) shows the color contrast has faded.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: side garden
