Scientific Name:
Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Boulevard'

Family:
Boulevard False Cypress

Family:
Cupressaceae

Description:
Boulevard False Cypress can serve as a less formal substitute for Dwarf Alberta Spruce, as long as it is given sufficient room to grow. It does not have the mite problems of the spruces, but it does develop interior dead needles that are characteristic of certain false cypresses with age.
