Chamaecyparis obtusa Limerick

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Limerick’ is a distinctive Hinoki cypress selection known for its compact size and bright chartreuse to golden-green foliage. This cultivar forms a dense, rounded to slightly irregular habit, bringing a splash of color and fine texture to the landscape. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, where brighter light enhances its coloration, and grows slowly and predictably. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it stays manageable in size and works well as a focal point in small gardens and conifer groupings.
