Description
The Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Andelyensis' is a variety of Atlantic White Cedar with slow growth and small size, well suited for small spaces. It is a small conifer that particularly enjoys wet and sandy, non-chalky soils, near the sea. When planted as a single specimen, it will form a fairly wide cone, with multiple leading shoots, of a dark blue-green colour, which will take on more or less bronze to violet reflections in winter. This variety produces many bluish cones from a young age.
The Chamaecyparis thyoides is a very hardy species native to the eastern North America, specifically from the Maine Coast to Florida. It belongs to the Cupressaceae family and is also known as the Atlantic White Cypress. In its natural environment, this tree can reach a height of 18 m and has a narrow conical habit. It has given rise to many cultivars, with very variable habits and foliage.
The 'Andelyensis' cultivar forms a plant measuring up to 1 m in height and 30 cm in width after 10 years. Potentially, it will eventually reach a height of 1.60 m to 1.80 m with a base spread of 90 cm to 1 m, after many years of cultivation. This small conifer retains its juvenile foliage in the form of very short thorns, dark green with blue-green reflections, without developing the scaly leaves of the type. Its foliage is very dense. It develops several main branches of unequal sizes. The foliage exposed to frost will take on bronze or violet reflections. This variety produces fruits called cones. When immature, they are a soft blue-gray, somewhat glaucous. They become dark brown as they ripen.
The Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Andelyensis' is a small, hardy and elegant conifer that can be adopted in a small garden, always in light and moist soil, not under intense sunlight. It can also be grown in a container on the terrace. Place it in the centre of a small bed or combine it with other dwarf conifers of different colours and shapes: for example the Canadian Arborvitae 'Danica' which forms a ball of grass green, the Oriental Thuja 'Aurea Nana' in a cone shape, golden, or the Juniperus squamata 'Blue Carpet', a beautiful silvery blue carpet. The architectural qualities of dwarf conifers naturally stand out in the design of a contemporary garden. These plants structurally define a bed for a long time, mark pathways, and border the terrace. They can be combined with ground cover plants like rock cress, silver baskets (Cerastium), as well as flowering shrubs. The key is to play with volumes and colours.

Planting and care
Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Andelyensis' can be planted from September to November and February to June in well-drained, light, neutral or slightly acidic soil that is free of lime and remains cool even in summer. A sandy or humusy soil or a mixture of ericaceous will do just fine. Choose a sunny, cool or partly shady spot, sheltered from prevailing winds. Soak the clumps well before planting. Apply an organic amendment at planting and water copiously for the first few years. Every April, apply a special conifer fertiliser and hoe the soil in summer. This conifer dislikes drought and heat, as well as drying winds. It does not require pruning.

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.
