| Outstanding Qualities |
No garden should be without a Hinoki Cypress. It matures at about 15 feet in height and forms a slender column to 6 feet wide. Its tight, twisted, deep green fans of foliage are held on tiered branches, creating an open habit , outstanding conifer. |
| Culture | Hinoki cypresses thrive in well-drained, compost -rich soil in bright shade. I have seen them surviving and slowly growing in deep shade. They can be grown in full sun with careful attention to watering during summer. |
| Hardiness | USDA zones 4 to 8 |
