Chamaecyparis ob. 'Well's Special'

This compact, conical evergreen tree boasts dense, feathery foliage with a rich blue-green coloration that provides year-round interest. Hardy in USDA Zones 4-8, it thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils and enjoys full sun to partial shade. This slow-growing cultivar typically reaches a mature height of 6-8 feet with a spread of 3-4 feet, making it an excellent choice for smaller landscapes or foundation plantings. Though not known for its fall color or flowers, this deer-resistant specimen features a tidy, symmetrical habit and serves as a striking accent in the garden. It does not produce noticeable fruit, and its low maintenance requirements make it ideal for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
