Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Squarrosa Intermedia'
This particular Chamaecyparis cultivar has been known to go by several different names, most commonly being : Blue Moss Falsecypress, Moss sawara Falsecypress, and Blue Moss Cypress.
When young, this plant is more globe shaped, but quickly develops long, whiplike branches and a more semi pyramidal shape with age. The long whiplike branches are eventually filled with very dense, tight, soft silvery blue foliage. This cultivar has outstanding silvery bule color, and makes a wonderful small to medium sized specimen planting.
The branches can be trimmed to maintain a more globe shaped appearance if desired, or can even be trimmed / trained into a variety of topiary, or sculptured shapes - even pom poms!!
