Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Wissel's Saguaro'
 

I saw one of these in a local garden centre yesterday (NB it's not the
same thing as Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Wisselli"). I've never seen one
before, and although most references say it is blue-green, this one was
very dark green and most attractive. What was not attractive was the
price - for a tree about 120 cm high it was £199.99!!!

The one shown here looks like it might have been trained into shape!

I see it's a "witches broom". Goes some way to explaining the price, but
not enough!
