Chamaecyparis obtusa Erica

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Erica’ is a refined dwarf Hinoki cypress valued for its compact, upright habit and soft, finely textured green foliage. This cultivar develops a neat, pyramidal to irregular form with closely layered sprays that give it a plush appearance. It grows best in full sun to partial shade with evenly moist, well-drained soil and has a slow, predictable growth rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it remains manageable in size and works well as a small specimen, accent, or addition to conifer collections.
