Lawson False Cypress, Port Orford Cedar 'Somerset'

I purchased this plant from Xera Plants two autumns ago, and have appreciated the tag worth of detailed information they provided with it...Read More, it is all true. Do not do as I have done, however, plopping this little evergreen into the garden bed, planning only for its eventual mature size; it is waste and folly. Xera says it is a very pretty container plant, but I would say it probably *should* be a container plant for its first two years at least. The delicate washes of colors over the seasons and demure growth are utterly lost in the wilds of a panorama. It demands the careful vignette of a container, where it can serve as a exclamation point to suit its stature. And yet, I do love it, because it is hardy and native to our region, so far trouble free with whatever attention I haven't lavished on it.
