Lawson Cypress collection at bedgebury Pinetum The collection of conifers was started in the 1840's by the Beresford Hope family. It's now jointly managed by the Forestry Commission and Kew Gardens. Taxonomy of conifers is complex but Chamaecyparis lawsonia is the basic scientific name for this group, that will be followed by the individual cultivar or varietal name.
