Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Templehof'
Common Name: 'Templehof' Compact Hinoki Cypress
A compact and slow-growing Hinoki cypress selected for its tight, dense, dark green foliage and neat, pyramidal form. Compared with the species, ‘Templehof’ stays more restrained in size while maintaining excellent conifer texture and four-season interest. Its tidy habit makes it useful where a smaller architectural evergreen is desired. Size: Width: 6–8 ft Height: 8–12 ft Zones: 5a–8b Light: Full sun to partial shade (Light afternoon shade recommended in hotter climates) Soil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils Features A compact and slow-growing Hinoki cypress selected for its tight, dense, dark green foliage and neat, pyramidal form.
