False cypress trees grow very fast
The long-lived false cypresses can reach 25 meters without cutting them into shape in time. Every year the false cypress grows up to 30 centimeters in height. The width growth is slightly slower with up to 15 centimeters.

To cut blight cypress you need powerful tools. Older shoots can often only be removed with an ax. Make sure the tools are always clean so you do not transmit diseases.
