Chamaecyparis obtusa Coralliformis

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Coralliformis’ is an unusual Hinoki cypress prized for its coral-like, contorted branch structure that sets it apart from more traditional forms. The dense, irregular growth creates a bold, textural presence that reads almost sculptural in the landscape. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, with slow growth that keeps it manageable in small gardens. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it matures as a compact, irregular shrub best showcased as a specimen or collector plant.
