Question about a Chamaecypari Pisifera

When we visited our daughter early last year we saw this plant when we went around a park.I took a photo of it and when we got home I went to our garden center to identify it.I the bought a plant and planted it but it is still the same as when I planted it.Would that be normal.The variety I believe is Boulevard.Any info would be appreciated.

 

Hiya Paul....Boulevard is a lovely conifer. No longer here but for many years it was a favourite.
Couple of points.....it is a slow grower esp in the first year or two. Secondly it needs soil that won’t dry out too much so a mulch every year or so will benefit it. However, problem free and easy if you watch the watering
A tactile conifer too ...nice soft foliage and the colour is great. Hmmm! Might get another now

 

I used to have a nice one some years ago, slow growing, and interesting colouration.

Maybe yours needs to establish, it was dry last summer.

 

So when would the best time be to mulch it an what is the best mulch to use maybe bark.It still has it's colour so seems healthy enough.

 

Mulch now Paul. .good time. Soil is moist.
You can mulch at any time but spring is best I think
Mulching Boulevard will help retain moisture it needs during the summer
