Zone: 4CEDAR RAPIDS® SAWARA FALSECYPRESS
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Cedar Rapids' is a Proven Winners® selection that is a fast-growing, vigorous cultivar of the Sawara False Cypress that offers a refreshing alternative to traditional evergreens. It is defined by its lush, lime-green foliage that feels soft to the touch and possesses a delicate, feathery texture with a slight twist to the needles. Unlike other varieties that can be slow to mature, 'Cedar Rapids' is prized for its speedy growth rate, quickly establishing a dense, upright pyramidal form. Reaching heights of up to 30 feet, it maintains a vibrant, fresh color year-round.
'Cedar Rapids' Falsecypress is exceptionally hardy and easy to maintain, flourishing in full sun to partial shade. It is adaptable to various soil types as long as they are well-drained, though it prefers consistent moisture and slightly acidic conditions. Once established, it is notably deer-resistant and tolerant of cold, making it a reliable choice for diverse climates.
'Cedar Rapids' is ideal for tall privacy screening or living fences, as its rapid growth and density provide excellent coverage in a short amount of time. It also serves as a stately specimen tree for larger properties or as a soft, textured backdrop for smaller flowering shrubs and perennials.
