Silver Queen Lawson Cypress is a large growing, open conical tree form of Lawson cypress with green foliage, tipped with silver-white new growth in spring that later fades to yellow-green and gray. This compact, pyramidal tree grows slowly, making it perfect for small landscapes, foundation plantings, or as a specimen tree. It thrives in well-drained soils and cool, moist conditions. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will stand 7.5 feet tall and 4.5feet wide
