OK, here’s a challenge for the group. More of a deckscaping question than gardening.

Large deck, large planter - probably 15 gallons or more.

Looking for a nice vertically growing evergreen shrub. Am in Atlanta, so something hardy enough to make it through a winter here in a planter on a deck.

I already have a sky pencil holly in another planter.

Any ideas?

Dwarf Cypress?

Geographical origin: Northern America.
Adult dimensions: Height up to 1,5 m, width up to 0,60 m.
Foliage: Evergreen.
Type of soil: Prefers light soil.
Climate: Hardy to -20°C.

Characteristics and uses: The Lawson Cypress ‘Ellwood’s Gold’ is a dwarf conifer with a golden- green foliage and yellow young shoots. Its compact conical shape teamed with its slow growing habit makes it a much appreciated specimen for rockeries. It can also be planted on its own in the small gardens or in borders. Exposure: Light shade to full sun.
