PLANT DESCRIPTIONS & FACTS   
 
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Squarrosa Intermedia' 
 
Overall Description

  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 blue 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!!

Fertilization / Feeding:
For maximum health & hardiness, we highly recommend POOPeas for use with all of evergreen species. However, either water soluble ( Miracle Gro, or equivalent ), or granular fertilizers ( Holly Tone is excellent ) are also good options. Most any granular fertilizers with a 6-12-12, or 10-10-10 ratio are also acceptable. Best to fertilize in early spring, and again in mid fall - avoid feeding standard chemical fertilizers during hot summer months, and directly after transplanting. POOPeas may be used at anytime.

Additional Features & Characteristics:

Keep Out Of Hot Midday Sun: Squarrosa Intermedia Chamaecyparis can be sensitive to very strong, hot midday summer sun, and has a tendency to suffer foliage burn in extreme summer midday sun exposure.
