Chamaecyparis obtusa Barkenny

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Barkenny’ is a compact dwarf Hinoki cypress prized for its dense, upright habit and finely textured dark green foliage. This cultivar forms a narrow, pyramidal shape with tightly layered sprays, offering strong structure without overwhelming nearby plantings. It prefers full sun to partial shade and evenly moist, well-drained soil, growing slowly and predictably. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it typically reaches several feet tall over many years and works well in small gardens, rock gardens, and curated conifer groupings.
