The branching of this Compact Fernspray Hinoki Cypress is unlike most other cypresses, ending in fernlike points rather than cupped tips. The deep green color remains true year-round, and due to its slower growth habit, can remain in a container planter for several years. While only six feet tall at the 10-year mark, this Hinoki cypress can reach 10 feet tall and 7 feet wide, and would make a striking specimen in the garden. Drought tolerant once established, the Compact Fernspray Hinoki Cypress can handle light shade, but prefers a sunny location.
