A graceful, slow-growing Hinoki cypress prized for its rich, bright green foliage and soft, layered branching.

Soil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils Features: Evergreen conifer with vibrant green foliage Softly layered, textured sprays Broadly pyramidal to irregular form with year-round interest Attracts: Birds (cover and shelter) Uses: Specimen planting, mixed evergreen borders, Japanese/Asian-inspired gardens, woodland landscapes Notes: Specific cultivar size ranges vary by nursery source, but typically matures into a modestly sized landscape tree over many years. Best in cool to moderate climates; avoid hot, dry sites and poorly drained soils.
