About This Plant
Cunninghamia lanceolata Glauca is valued in the landscape for character, form, and seasonal interest.
China Fir , distinctive evergreen conifer with stiff curved lance-shaped needles arranged radially around the twigs. Bold textured specimen.
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Hardy USDA Zone 7 to 9. Site sheltered from cold drying winds. 'Glauca' has striking blue-green foliage. Generally trouble-free.
For a Pacific Northwest native tree of similar character, consider Acer macrophyllum (Bigleaf Maple) for canopy, Cornus nuttallii (Pacific Dogwood) for spring bloom, or Arbutus menziesii (Pacific Madrone) for evergreen sculpture and red bark.
