Chamaecyparis thyoides ‘Little Jamie’

Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Little Jamie' is a very dense, slow-growing narrowly conical selection of Atlantic white cypress that grows with multiple leaders holding semi juvenile Blue-green foliage that turns purple in winter in colder climates with no internal browning. Numerous seed cones are inconspicuous, round and circa 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) in diameter. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 2.5 feet (80 cm) tall and 1.5 feet (50 cm), an annual growth rate of 3 inches (7.5 cm). It is similar, but slower growing that Ch. thyoides 'Top Point.'

This cultivar originated as a seedling found in 1989 at John Mitsch Nursery, Aurora, Oregon, USA.
