Description

Russian Cypress makes a striking statement with its narrow, columnar form and dense, silvery-green foliage. In Michigan’s cooler climate, its slow and steady growth results in a compact yet impactful presence, perfect for adding a polished accent to any landscape. Its refined, textural foliage creates a satisfying splash of greenery that endures year-round, offering a fresh and inspiring option for tight spaces or container displays. Although it does not produce significant fruit, its overall form and color deliver a grand architectural elegance that transforms any outdoor setting.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light daily for optimal performance.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil; incorporating organic matter into heavier soils enhances drainage and plant vigor.
  • Watering: Provide regular moisture during the establishment phase; once established, it tolerates brief dry spells but performs best with consistent watering in extended heat.
  • Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base helps conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch slightly away from the trunk to encourage healthy airflow.
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed; remove only dead or crossing branches in late winter or early spring to maintain its neat, elegant silhouette.

Russian Cypress adds a stunning, fresh vertical accent to Michigan landscapes, delivering a polished and inspiring presence with its compact, architectural beauty.
