March 2006 - Plant of the Month
Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Mops’
(Mops Japanese Falsecypress)
Type: evergreen
Height: 3-6’
Hardiness: Zone 4-9
Light requirements: Full sun or light shade
Bloom Color: -
An unusual thread leaf Chamaecyparis.
Striking bright yellow-gold string-like foliage. Un-trimmed forms a natural
2-3 foot mound (slightly larger with old age). Makes very interesting
Bonsai subjects. The trunks thicken at an early age and the bark takes on
an alluring texture. Excellent to “brighten” a dull area.
