Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Filiciodes Compacta' (Fernleaf Hinoki Cypress)

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Filicoides Compacta’ (Fernleaf Hinoki Cypress)

A distinctive and elegant evergreen, ‘Filicoides Compacta’ stands out with its graceful, arching branches and fine, fern-like foliage. Each rich green frond tapers to a delicate point, giving this selection a unique texture unlike typical Hinoki cypress. Its naturally open, upright habit makes it an exceptional specimen tree and a beautiful addition to mixed evergreen screens.

Slow growing and highly ornamental, it performs well in the landscape or in large containers. Light pruning can be used to encourage a denser, more compact form. Plant in full sun to light shade in moist, well-drained soil for best results.
