Chamaecyparis obtusa Chabo Yoderi

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Chabo Yadori’ is a classic dwarf Hinoki cypress prized for its extremely compact, bun-like habit and dense, layered sprays of deep green foliage. Originating as a slow-growing Japanese selection, it maintains a naturally tidy form with minimal intervention. It prefers full sun to partial shade and evenly moist, well-drained soil, growing at a very slow rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it typically remains under 2–3 feet tall over many years, making it ideal for troughs, rock gardens, and fine-scale plantings.
