Origin
The Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Nana', commonly known as the dwarf sawara cypress, originally originates from Japan. Here, it often grows on mountainous plateaus and in mixed forests. Its attractive appearance and suitability for various climates have made the plant popular and widely cultivated in both private gardens and public landscapes.

Characteristics
The Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Nana' is a compactly growing conifer with a round and bushy shape. The plant is characterised by its thin, thread-like leaves in a striking, blue-green colour. It can grow up to a height of 1 to 1.5 metres and has a slow growth rate. The plant is hardy and retains its colour all year round.

Care
The Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Nana' thrives in well-draining soil and has a preference for a sunny to semi-shaded position. It doesn't require much water, but it is important to keep the soil lightly moist, especially during drier periods. Periodic pruning can be carried out to maintain the plant's shape, but it is not essential for its health. Despite its slow growth rate, this plant can remain in the same planter or garden spot for a long time without needing to be moved.
