Overview

The Dwarf Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana') is a compact, evergreen conifer showcasing dense, richly green foliage with a slightly irregular globe shape. Thriving in USDA zones 4-8, it reaches up to 3-6 feet in height with a similar spread. Prefers partial to full sun, and moist, well-drained soil. Its slow growth and textural leaves make it ideal for accentuating rock gardens, borders, or as a focal point in small yards.
