Neutral palmbob On Oct 30, 2008, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

One of the most commonly sold Chamaecyparis in southern California which seems odd to me as it is not rated for these zones (8b-10b)... and I am discovering why not... doesn't tolerate summer heat well. Still, some manage to grow it in containers or in shaded gardens successfully, so perhaps it should be raised up a zone or two? Has nice, soft needles and curled branchlets- definitely a 'user-friendly' plant in terms of comfort and safety. Has a nice blue color, too.

Regional...

Tuscaloosa, Alabama
