Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Caudata’

Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Caudata' is a dwarf, upright, pyramidal selection of Lawson cypress with shrubby branching, and tufty foliage that produces tail-like extensions, hence the cultivar name. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 40 inches (100 cm) tall and wide, an annual growth rate of around 4 inches (10 cm).

This cultivar originated presumably as a seedling selected in the early 1930s by Goudkade Brothers Nursery, Boskoop, The Netherlands.
