Cupressus macrocarpa 'Chandleri' is a narrow, upright selection of Monterey cypress with irregular, spiral branching, and attractive, very dark-green foliage. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 12 feet (4 m) tall and 1.5 feet (1.5 m) wide, an annual growth rate in excess of 12 inches (30 cm).
This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found in the 1980s by Australian nurseryman, Peter Nitschke and introduced to the nursery trade by Chandlers Nursery, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. One should note that, since this conifer originated well after 1959, the Latinized use of 'Chandleri' as a cultivar name shouldn't have been allowed; but since it's well-known in the nursery trade by this name, it's not likely to change.
