Wissel's Saguaro

Wissel's Saguaro

How unique...a blue green Saguaro Cactus! Not really, but it does have the look. Found as a sport of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Wisselii', the leaves on this unusual conifer are a blue-green color and very congested. The plant will grow slowly, with the arms going out, then up. Noteworthy! We recommend planting in a raised bed for sharp drainage. This tree is sensitive to poor drainage. Be careful to give it the conditions it requires.
