# I currently have a Lawson False Cypress and I had to cut some stems…

I currently have a Lawson False Cypress and I had to cut some stems off because they were dried up and dead. Does anyone know how long it would take for it to grow back or for new stems to grow in? I don’t want to accidentally think it’s dead and throw it out.

I’m not familiar with the Lawson False Cypress, but when I had to prune my money tree back, it took three to four months before I even saw the first signs of life. Depending on where you live, it could take faster if you’re in the growing season. But I would definitely be patient and err on the side of caution.
