Growing Tips for Cupressus sempervirens ''Swane's Golden''

Plant in a sunny location, not too fussy about soil type but prefers a well-drained sandy soil. Water deeply and regularly until it becomes established, after which it can tolerate drier conditions. Pruning is not required to maintain its columnar form. If more shaping is desired the best time to prune is during the growing season and to not cut into the old growth.
