Buy Confucius Hinoki False Cypress online. Confucius Hinoki False Cypress is a semi-dwarf evergreen tree that brings year-round beauty to your garden. With its neat, feathery fans of foliage, this tree showcases a stunning range of colors, from bright lemon yellow on the outer foliage to softer shades of yellow, gold, and rich green on the interior.
Confucius Hinoki False Cypress is a reliable, intermediate-sized selection that contributes a striking, full, upright form to any landscape. Unlike its larger counterpart, C. obtusa 'Aurea', this variety stays smaller, making it perfect for modern gardens. Its delicate sprays of soft gold-to-green foliage form an irregular and stunning pyramidal shape. The branches form fans and whorls of flattened foliage that spread outward, creating a visually appealing texture.
Native to central and southern Japan, the Confucius Hinoki False Cypress thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers average-to-moist, well-drained soil. It is tolerant of various soil types and a broad pH range, and it benefits from being planted in a relatively sheltered location with humid conditions.
This versatile tree can be used as a specimen or accent, or in mass plantings as a short hedge. Its lovely color adds winter interest, making it a standout feature in any landscape.
Enhance your garden with Confucius Hinoki False Cypressa resilient, colorful, and elegant choice for year-round beauty.
