Cypresses are so similar to thuja that they are often mistaken for them.Spherical cones and arched apical shoots are characteristic of the cypress. These trees are evergreen, which is why they are perfect for hedges. The available species and their varieties differ in color - from blue-green, through golden yellow, to light green, and the habit.
Cyprysik - developmental features
The cypress grows over 1 meter in height, which varies depending on the species and variety.The tallest is Lawson's cypress.In its homeland, the tree grows to a height of 50 meters. Under our latitude, it reaches a maximum of 30 meters.
Cyprysik - position
Cypress feels best in permeable, humus, fertile and not too dry ground.Trees can grow in sunny and semi-shaded places; bright varieties, however, need more light. A sheltered place is ideal.
Cypress - planting
Cypress trees are planted at the end of September and October. The next due date is in the spring; then the seedlings should be watered abundantly.
Cypress - care
Pruning of cypresses is allowed only within the green part of the shoots. These plants do not tolerate trimming to the woody part of the shoot.In spring we feed the cypresses with compost, then mulch the whole year.In winter we shake off the snow caps.
Cypress - application
Cypress is a very versatile plant. It can be grown in hedge plantings, solitary bedding, and in cemeteries.Low-growing and dwarf varieties are eagerly grown in rockeries.
Tip
Trees should also be watered in winter (on frost-free days). Cypress very badly tolerates the drying of the ground.
