I planted a small cupressus - Goldcrest pom.pom - a couple of months ago in memory of someone as thought it would survive the weather here, being described as hardy, and be green all year. I would hate it not to survive but it is very windy where I live although I chose a fairly sheltered spot. Have I made a mistake? Is there anything I can do?
