Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Squarrosa Intermedia' initially grows as a broad, semi-dwarf mound of of dense, congested, tiny Blue-green needles. As a plant ages, it begins to take on very interesting structure and unlimited potential. A mature plant will regularly throw out long filamentous branches with sparse foliage and more of an vertical habit. Over time these "whips" will fill in with the congested "mossy foliage" until the process repeats itself. In order to maintain order or control growth, the whips should be removed when and where not desired.
