Coralliformis Hinoki Cypress

The Coralliformis Hinoki Cypress is a broad, pyramidal evergreen conifer, growing to 4 or 5 feet tall and wide within the first 10 years, and probably doubling that in time. It has unique and attractive foliage of many thin threads, covered in smooth, glossy green scale-like leaves. These twist and curl into dense clusters that resemble tropical reef corals. The rich green color is kept year-round, without bronzing in winter. Use it around your home among other evergreens, out in mixed shrub beds, as accents at corners and beside doors and gates, or on slopes among boulders and gravel. It’s perfect for Asian gardens and excellent as a bonsai.

• Medium-sized pyramid of green every day of the year
• Handsome thread-like, twisted stems of glossy green
• Essential plant for structure and interest in your beds
• Grows in all ordinary garden soils with ease
• Needs no trimming or shaping to always look perfect

Full sun is best for your Coralliformis Hinoki Cypress, but it can handle a few hours of shade each day if necessary. Grow it in any well-drained soil, with the best growth in richer loam or clay soils that are generally moist, with added organic material. This tree is very adaptable to most soils, and easy to grow in any garden, anywhere. It doesn’t have serious pest or disease problems, and it is best not to trim it at all – it keeps its form perfectly, and trimming reduces the beauty of the foliage.
