The Story
Hinoki Cypress is one of the most majestic trees of Japan, clothed year-round in lustrous emerald-green foliage and capable of reaching 120 feet in height. The fragrant wood makes high-quality timber and has been used at the holiest of sites in Japan. Japan must have a lot of holy sites, because unfortunately all of the biggest trees have been felled. Dwarf selections like ‘Compacta’ are the forms that are most coveted by gardeners around the world. With some clever pruning,they can be made to look like old giants—in miniature.

How to Grow
Japan has a mild, moderate climate, and many Japanese plants prefer a similar setting when planted elsewhere. Many cool-summer coastal regions fit the bill, like parts of the East and West Coasts of America. Where Japanese plants like Hydrangeas and Japanese Maples thrive, Hinokis will, too. This plant needs to be sheltered from strong winds and resents drying out, but it does want regular irrigation—from the hose, if natural rainfall doesn’t suffice. It needs shade where summers are hot, and a woodchip mulch helps keep the roots cool.
