The foliage is treated for sun and UV resistance and can be placed outdoors without fading — a genuine, specific UV claim behind a clean, formal column shape. It ships detachable and compressed for easy setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clipped cypress column is one of the strongest cases for buying artificial rather than live. The shape is already formal and repeating — a real clipped cypress is trained to look uniform, so a moulded version isn't faking a natural silhouette, it's matching one that gardeners spend years imposing on the plant anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTrunk\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePot\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack plastic pot, included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLeaf count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCanopy width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUV rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreated for sun and UV resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlacement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor and outdoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePackaging\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetachable and compressible for shipping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWipe with a cloth; no other maintenance needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eArtificial cypress topiary, or a real one?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThis topiary\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLive clipped cypress\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight and site\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun and good drainage; a shaded corner thins it out within a season or two\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape upkeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone; the form is fixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClipped at least once or twice a year to hold a column or spiral\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun and UV exposure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreated for sun and UV resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandles full sun well by nature, which is exactly the condition a real cypress needs to stay dense\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCost, year five\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNothing further\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepeated clipping, and possible replacement if a hard winter kills it back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter survival outdoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnaffected by cold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMany cypress cultivars are borderline-hardy in colder Canadian zones and can brown or die back in an exposed pot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest case for a real cypress is cost and scent at the low end of the price range, but winter hardiness in an exposed outdoor pot is a genuine risk across most of Canada, which this artificial version simply doesn't carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt ships detachable and compressed, which keeps the box smaller but means you'll need to fit the sections together and open the foliage out by hand before it looks like the product photos.

A single clipped cypress beside a door tends to read as though its match went missing, since this is a shape almost always displayed in a symmetrical pair.
