The Columnar Lawson Cypress Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Columnaris’ is a beautiful evergreen conifer that adds architectural style to gardens. This particular variety of Lawson Cypress is loved for its tall, narrow growth pattern, making it perfect for creating vertical features in any space. The tree has thick, upright branches covered in soft, scale-like leaves that vary from blue-green to grey-green. This delicate texture creates a graceful, almost feathery look whilst keeping its strong, upright shape. The leaves grow in flat sprays that overlap to form a neat, even surface that holds its form naturally without needing regular trimming.
Columnar Lawson Cypress usually reaches 8-12 metres tall, spreading only 1-1.5 metres wide, which makes it perfect for tight spots or adding height to garden layouts. Its steady growth rate helps it keep its slim profile over the years, needing very little care to maintain its lovely shape.
What makes Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Columnaris’ really special is how it looks good all year round. The steady colour and texture of its foliage creates a reliable background for other plants through every season. Small, hidden flowers show up in spring, then tiny round cones appear, adding nice little details to the tree’s overall look.
For gardeners wanting to add structure and year-round appeal to their plots, the Columnar Lawson Cypress works brilliantly. Its slim shape lets you bring in tall features without taking over smaller areas, and being evergreen means it keeps its colour and texture right through the year.
This tree delivers striking looks, easy care, and suits different growing conditions well. It fits nicely into both formal and relaxed garden styles, adding a bit of class and structure to various outdoor spaces.
For those wanting year-round framework, graceful form, and simple upkeep, Lawson’s Cypress ‘Columnaris’ really delivers. It works well in both classic and modern garden designs, bringing evergreen style to different garden settings.
Caring for Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Columnaris’ is relatively straightforward. Plant it in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils but can adapt to a range of soil types as long as they’re not waterlogged. Water regularly when first planted to help establish a strong root system. Once established, it’s relatively drought-tolerant but will appreciate deep watering during prolonged dry spells. Fertilisation is generally not necessary unless the soil is particularly poor. Pruning is minimal – remove any dead or damaged branches as needed, but avoid heavy pruning as this can disrupt the tree’s natural columnar form.
