Rare and Unusual Evergreens 
RETINOSPORA (CHAMAECYPARIS) 
T HE Retinospora is hardier than most people think—being iron-clad in Zone V 
and suitable for use even in Zone IV. They grow fairly rapidly and the larger 
forms are entirely unsuited to “foundation” plantings—quickly growing into 
pyramidal trees twenty to thirty feet high. For this reason, we have particularly 
noted a few of the best dwarf forms below. All dislike lime.
