Common Name: Kosteri Hinoki Falsecypress
A refined, compact Hinoki cypress appreciated for its dense, dark green, fan-shaped foliage and neatly layered branching. The habit is upright to broadly pyramidal, tighter and more controlled than the species, with excellent texture and a calm, architectural presence. It matures gracefully and holds form with minimal maintenance. Size: Width: 6–10 ft Height: 10–15 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 rich green, shell-like foliage Compact, broadly pyramidal habit Strong four-season structure and winter interest Attracts: Birds (cover and shelter) Uses: Specimen accents, foundation plantings, mixed conifer borders, Japanese and Asian-inspired gardens, refined landscape designs Notes: Slow growing and long-lived. Avoid hot, dry sites and poorly drained soils. Minimal pruning required—best allowed to develop its natural form.
