Chamaecyparis Obtusa Gracilis Compacta

Common Name: Compact Slender Hinoki Cypress

A refined compact Hinoki cypress selected for its dense, dark green, fan-shaped foliage and tidy, compact pyramidal to rounded habit. It’s a smaller, more restrained form of the classic ‘Gracilis’ cultivar—with even more controlled growth—making it ideal for planting in limited space or mixed borders where a formal, evergreen presence is desired. Size: Width: ~4–6 ft Height: ~8–12 ft Zones: 5a–8b Light: Full sun to partial shade (Best foliage quality and deep color in bright light; shade helps in hot climates.) Soil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils Features: Evergreen conifer with dense, dark green, shell-like sprays Compact pyramidal to broadly upright habit Strong year-round structure and fine texture Attracts: Birds (cover and shelter) Uses: Specimen accents, foundation plantings, mixed conifer borders, Japanese and Asian-inspired landscapes Notes: Growth is slow to moderate; size can vary slightly with site conditions and pruning. Avoid hot, dry sites and poorly drained soils for best long-term performance.
