Chamaecyparis obtusa Splitrock

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Splitrock’ is a distinctive dwarf Hinoki cypress valued for its rugged, irregular habit and tightly packed, deep green foliage. The uneven growth pattern gives this cultivar a natural, weathered look that stands out among more formal Hinoki selections. It grows best in full sun to partial shade with evenly moist, well-drained soil and has a slow growth rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it stays compact over many years and is especially well suited for rock gardens, alpine plantings, and collector-focused landscapes.
