Question from
carole Dahlem
I have read sites that say this plant can go 1 meter wide to 3 meter high and on Shoot it says 4 meter wide and 8 high. I am not sure I want to commit to this tree/shrub and hope to put these cute little plants in containerss/pots. Does anyone have experience with Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Boulevard' in a planter? Have photos when it is four- five years old? Thanks for any help you can give.
