SPIRALIS HINOKI FALSECYPRESS

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Spiralis' is commonly referred to as Spiralis Hinoki Cypress. This native of Japan is a very slow-growing, dwarf evergreen conifer that features a narrow, irregular growth habit with a twisted trunk. Its branches spiral up and out and may reach 3 feet tall in about 10 years, maturing to 8-12 feet. Foliage is dark green, cup-shaped and twisted.

The Spiralis Hinoki Cypress makes a stunning specimen for gardens, bonsai or containers. It enjoys full or part sun in rich, moist, well-drained soils.





Planting Tips

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in the spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
