Snow White Port Orford Cedar - The Guardian® Series
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Snow White'
SKU
05033
A unique landscape or container specimen with a natural formal teardrop shape. Soft, needle-like evergreen foliage emerges creamy white in spring, maturing to blue-green. This selection is grafted onto a root stock that is resistant to Phytophthora lateralis - a disease that has caused the demise of many lawsonianas over the last two decades. Developed by Oregon State University and marketed as The Guardian® Series, this rootstock is being used on several varieties: 'Blue Surprise', 'Golden King', 'Silberstar', 'Silver Queen', 'Snow White', and 'Yvonne'.
