Growing & Maintenance Tips for Chamaecyparis pisifera 'White Pygmy'

This dwarf cultivar tolerates a variety of soil types and growing conditions. Needs protection from scorthing summer sun but tends to have a more open habit in shadier sites. Protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds is recommended in an exposed location.
