Plant Profile

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Kosteri' (hinoki cypress)

Hinoki cypress is native to Japan. For it to survive it needs full sunlight but can tolerate light to dappled shade. 

It adapts to a variety well-drained of soils, from sandy sites to clay. Moreover it can tolerate drought.

Also it requires pruning only when a branh is dead, broken or poorly formed, since heavy pruning can ruin its unique appearance.
