Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Kamaeni hiba'

Common Name: Chamaesyparis Kamaeni Hiba

A rare and distinctive dwarf Hinoki cypress valued for its dense, broom-like growth and tight, irregular branching. Foliage is rich green with the classic shell-like Hinoki texture, packed closely along short branchlets to create a compact, sculptural form. Its unusual habit makes it especially appealing to collectors and for detail-focused plantings. Size: Width: 3–5 ft Height: 3–5 ft Zones: 5a–8b Light: Full sun to partial shade (Light afternoon shade recommended in warmer climates) Soil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils Features: Evergreen conifer with dense, broomy structure Compact, irregular dwarf habit Exceptional texture and year-round interest Attracts: Birds (cover and shelter) Uses: Rock gardens, conifer collections, specimen accents, containers, Japanese and Asian-inspired gardens Notes: Very slow growing and long-lived. Avoid hot, dry sites and poorly drained soils. Minimal to no pruning recommended—best appreciated in its natural, irregular form.
