Description
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘SMNCLUTL’, commonly known as Haywire ® Port Orford Cypress, is a striking evergreen conifer prized for its unique, thread-like, twisted foliage that creates a dramatic, textured appearance in the landscape. Originating from the Pacific Northwest, this cultivar is a selected form of the native Port Orford cedar, known for its adaptability and resilience. Haywire ® is especially valued for its compact, narrow growth habit, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, containers, or as a distinctive accent plant. The bright lime-green foliage provides year-round interest, aging to a soft bronze in colder months, which adds seasonal color variation. Its unusual, wiry branches give it a sculptural quality, enhancing garden designs with architectural appeal. Developed through careful selection and breeding, Haywire ® Port Orford Cypress combines the toughness of a native species with ornamental uniqueness, making it a favored choice among landscapers and gardeners seeking both texture and evergreen presence.
