It is a heavyweight among trees, as it can grow to 70 metres tall and 4 metres in diameter. The oldest living specimen is said to be over 1800 years old. The species is now threatened by a fungus, <em>Phytophtora lateralis<\/em>, which has apparently spread through human agency into the tree\u2019s last outposts. It has no resistance to this fungus, which spreads through the roots, and the infected tree slowly dies.<\/p>\n<p>The Lawson cypress was first brought to Europe in 1854, being named after the Scottish Lawson &amp; Son nursery. It soon proved incredibly variable: from a single seed batch seedlings might be obtained showing great variations in habit and colour. In western Europe the Lawson cypress varieties are among the most popular of garden conifers.<\/p>\n<p>Although as a rule the species has not done well in Finland, there are happy exceptions. At Mustila, it has been grown since the early years of the Arboretum in a range of forms and varieties, with varying success. Even the hardiest have suffered damage above the snow line in the severest winters.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"keywords\">\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ryhmittely\">Havupuut<\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Chamaecyparis<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plants\"><a href=\"\" hreflang=\"und\">Chamaecyparis lawsoniana<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"location\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/alueet\/alppiruusulaakso\" hreflang=\"fi\">Alppiruusulaakso<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"location\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/alueet\/havuterassi\" hreflang=\"fi\">Havuterassi<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"location\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/alueet\/hemlokkimetsa\" hreflang=\"fi\">Hemlokkimets\u00e4<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7183,"template":"","alueet":[1006,1015,1082],"kasvilajit":[1311,1086],"class_list":["post-15265","kasvit","type-kasvit","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","alueet-alppiruusulaakso-en","alueet-havuterassi-en","alueet-hemlokkimets-en","kasvilajit-chamaecyparis","kasvilajit-conifers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit\/15265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvit"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kasvit"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alueet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alueet?post=15265"},{"taxonomy":"kasvilajit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mustila.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kasvilajit?post=15265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
