Key Attributes
Specimen. Soft, textured evergreen foliage. While not fastigiate, this form of Hinoki cypress tends to be skinnier than most others.
Considerations
Consider planting at least 6-8' from homes to reduce pruning needs and to provide sunlight to the foliage on all sides. Hinoki cypress look their best when the bottom is wider and fuller than the top.
While rarely damaged by deer during warmer months, it's a good idea to protect the base from browse (and rut) from November through March in areas with high deer pressure, especially for new transplants.
Cultural Needs
Grows best in full to part sun. Prefers moist to average, well drained soil. Best planted in moderately protected spots away from harsh, winter winds.
