Chamaecyparis obtusa Little Ann

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Little Ann’ is a charming miniature Hinoki cypress prized for its tight, bun-like habit and extremely slow growth. This dwarf cultivar forms dense, layered sprays of rich green foliage and maintains a naturally tidy shape without pruning. It prefers full sun to partial shade and evenly moist, well-drained soil, growing gradually over many years. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it typically remains under 2–3 feet tall, making it ideal for troughs, alpine gardens, and fine-scale plantings.
