Chamaecyparis obtusa Nana Gracilis

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana Gracilis’ is one of the most iconic dwarf Hinoki cypresses, prized for its dense, shell-like fans of deep green foliage. This slow-growing Japanese selection forms a compact, irregular pyramidal habit with exceptional texture and year-round structure. It prefers full sun to partial shade and evenly moist, well-drained soil, growing steadily but very slowly. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it typically reaches 3–6 feet tall over many years and is a cornerstone plant for conifer collections and small gardens.
