The Fernspray Hinoki Cypress is a unique evergreen shrub with an upright growth habit, and open branching, ending in fernlike sprays of deep green foliage. Every tree develops a little differently, and each one is full of character and charm. Give lumpy, round evergreens a miss, and grow something special instead. For Asian-themed gardens, or for beds of dwarf conifers, this tree is an essential addition. It is hardy all through zone 4, and it grows steadily to around 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide in about 10 years, ultimately reaching 10 or 15 feet tall if left unpruned.
The Fernspray Hinoki Cypress should be planted in full sun, in any well-drained soil. it will develop its open, unique appearance naturally, so don’t trim or clip it at all. Some pruning and removal of a few branches will give it a more mature, open character if you wish, but it can be left to grow naturally into a rugged and exotic plant you will love. It has no pests or diseases, and it requires no special maintenance to become a centerpiece in any garden setting.
