General Care
- Sunlight: Requires full sun—at least 6 hours of direct light daily—for optimum performance.
- Watering: Ensure regular moisture during the establishment phase; once established, it tolerates brief dry periods but benefits from consistent watering during extended dry periods.
- 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 promote proper airflow.
- Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed; simply remove any dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring to maintain its refined appearance.
Nana Gracilis Cypress brings a gorgeous, modern accent to Michigan landscapes, delivering an inspiring, compact evergreen that enhances any setting with its fresh, architectural elegance.
