Description
You’ll get years of enjoyment from this handsome pair of Hinoki Cypress!
The trees in this set are outdoor trees and come in 2 1/4″ pots as shown. They can be planted in full sun with good-draining soil. Let them dry out a bit in between watering sessions if they are grown in a container, to avoid over-watering.
In colder areas, both of these conifers will get a winter’s blush and turn amber or bronze at the tips of the leaves – a fun color-change in the middle of winter when you need it most. The coloring will turn back to their regular colors when the temps warm up in spring.
- As a group, hardy to zones 4-8 (or -30F)
- As a group, Heat hardy zones 8 – 1
- Winter Maintenance: Clean out the dead leaves inside the shrubs when you see them. It’s called ‘conifer dieback.’
- Full sun – avoid that hot, summer afternoon sun while they are little
- Let container soil dry out to barely damp in between watering
- All are outdoor plants
- Come in 2 1/4″ pots

Compact Fernleaf Cypress – Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Filicoides Compacta’
A stunning gem for the miniature garden, shear it in late winter to keep its compact shape or just let it do what it does naturally: let its frond-like branches reach for the sky.
An unusual Hinoki for the miniature garden, fairy garden or railroad garden that can add a completely different texture to the mini landscape. The foliage looks like ferns. It can stand alone as a focal point or trim-away the bottom-most branches (at anytime) to make it look like a tree in miniature, (in this case, keep it sheared to keep the canopy-shape but shear it in late winter.) . A treat to grow.
Prune in late winter to keep it bushy.
- Growth: 6” – 8″ per year – a slower-growing in cooler areas.
- Shape: Upright broad
- Hardiness: Cold hardy Zones 5-8 or to -20F

This Hinoki is a charmer for the miniature garden. It’ll get more handsome as it grows up.
