Description
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Twisted Ball' is a miniature conifer, with a dense conical habit and light green foliage. Its curiously twisted growth adorned with spring green reflections gives it the appearance of a green flame. Not exceeding 80cm (32in) in height at maturity, it grows slowly and is particularly suitable for small spaces, rockeries, and containers. While not difficult to grow, it appreciates sunlight and cool, fertile, neutral to acidic soils.
Lawson Cypress, sometimes called false cypress, is a majestic conifer from the Cupressaceae family native to the humid coastal forests of the northwest United States. In its environment, it often reaches heights of over 30m (98ft), with a trunk approaching 1.2m (4ft) in diameter. Its habit is straight and conical, and its trailing branches form soft curtains dressed in fairly dark, bluish-green foliage. It has given rise to numerous cultivars, among which there is a wide choice of smaller-sized plants.
The 'Twisted Ball' variety is a reduced form of this species. It has a conical and dense habit, not exceeding 50cm (20in) in height after 10 years of cultivation. At maturity, it will form a small bush of 80cm (32in) with tousled growth. It produces numerous slender and slightly twisted branches, covered with two types of scale-like leaves, with a lovely acidic green colour when they emerge at the ends of the branches in spring, turning to a deep green colour in winter, similar to that of thuja.
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Twisted Ball' is ideal for adorning a rockery, a flower bed, or even planted in groups of 3 specimens in a container. It does not require pruning. The architectural qualities of dwarf conifers naturally impose themselves in the design of a contemporary garden, which prefers the aesthetics of shapes, silhouettes, and textures over the fleeting beauty of flowers. With their reassuring permanence, these plants durably structure a bed. They can mark pathways, and border terraces, easily replacing the strong presence of trimmed boxwood. They serve as a setting for small roses, peonies, or tousled grasses with a complementary temperament. They can also be planted with shrubs or ground cover plants such as aubrieta and cerastium, as well as flowering shrubs. The key is to play with volumes and colours.

Planting and care
Plant in spring or autumn, in light, humus-rich, sandy, slightly acidic or neutral, moist soil. It does not appreciate excessive limestone. This conifer thrives in the sun (in a fairly humid climate), or in partial shade. Regularly water the plants during the months following planting. This conifer is not too demanding in terms of soil quality, but it suffers in excessively dry soils. It is a species of cool, oceanic, or alpine climate. This bush does not require pruning, but one can remove unsightly or obstructive branches to accentuate its round habit.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
