Hi. Last winter, I received a cypress evergreen (Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Ellwoodii) as a gift. I know that it would do better in the ground and not in a pot, but I currently don't have room, so it is doing just fine in a pot. The tag says that it can be kept indoors (I currently have it outdoors) but never mentions overwintering it. It isn't tolerant to temperatures below -20 degrees F, and I live in zone 6a, so it should be fine outside. I'm wondering how I can overwinter it. Do I just bury the pot in the ground to protect the roots from freezing? Is it possible I can just cheat and bring it inside? Will it do fine outside in the pot without being buried in the ground?
Thanks!
Thanks!
