Siberian Cypress

Disease resistant. Siberian cypress is a hardy, low growing evergreen for sun or shade, but the species is often plagued with tip die-back. Celtic Pride® microbiota solves that with superior disease resistance and winter color. The fern-like green foliage turns an attractive russet color in winter. Very hardy and deer resistant, it makes a welcome alternative to juniper for those with semi-shaded conditions.
