Chamaecyparis Obtusa 'Compacta'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Gracilis', commonly known for its graceful, upright evergreen conifer shape and valued for its elegant form and finely textured foliage. It features dark green, fan-shaped sprays that grow in soft, slightly arching layers, giving the tree a delicate, feathery appearance. 'Gracilis' typically matures to about 10 to 15 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, forming a narrow, pyramidal shape that fits well in tight garden spaces or as a vertical accent. It prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Hardy in USDA zones 4 to 8, this cultivar is prized for its refined look, making it a popular choice for Japanese-style gardens, foundation plantings, or as a specimen tree in formal landscapes.
