About this plant
Known for its unique silhouette, Callitropsis (Chamaecyparis) Nootkatensis 'Green Arrow' features gracefully pendulous branches that hug a strikingly slender, upright trunk. This cultivar develops a strong central leader and maintains its wonderfully narrow form, making it an excellent choice for tight spaces or as a striking focal point. The deep, rich green foliage is soft to the touch, providing year-round texture and color. Its elegant, architectural presence adds a touch of sophistication and creates a stunning visual statement, especially when contrasted with broader, more rounded plants. 'Green Arrow' is a low-maintenance evergreen that offers significant impact with minimal effort, providing enduring beauty and structure to the garden.
Care & maintenance
Generally low-maintenance. Protect young plants from strong winds. Pruning is typically not required to maintain its narrow form, but can be done in late winter to remove any errant branches if desired. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
