Dwarf Atlantic cedar - Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Andelyensis'
Port Orford Cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana),'Ellwood's Pygmy'
Its needles are silvery-green, adding a darker blue-green hue in winter. It is upright & somewhat narrow in youth, but will mound outward as it ages, though it could be minimally pruned to preserve the upright narrower form that makes it appear truly to be a giant conifer in miniature.
Atlantic White Cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) 'Top Point.' The ten year height of this dwarf is only two feet. It adds up to three or four inches a year when young, but slows down to only two inches a year as it ages. It can do with careful minor amounts of sheering to enhance its potential to be conical, but if left to its own devices may over time become more of a globe. It was discovered as a spontaneous mutation in a Holland nursery, and developed for market by 1992. Soft young growth is a light grey-green, with plum highlights in winter.
