I'm a little confused. Could you please clarify if Russian cypress and Siberian cypress are the same?

I'm excited to tell you that these two plants are actually the same! Botanically known as Microbiota decussata, these evergreen shrubs are incredibly resilient and can thrive in northern climates. While they may have different names, their growth characteristics are strikingly similar.

Yes, you're right! The name "microbiota decussata" is the same as "Siberian cypress," which is also commonly known as "Russian cypress"!

Yeah, these two plants are basically the same. The Russian/Siberian cypress is originally from Russia, and it can handle some serious cold. It's perfect if you're looking to plant it in a colder climate.
