Nana Hinoki Cypress

Nana Hinoki Cypress is one of the most beloved and widely grown dwarf conifers, prized for its exquisitely compact, fan-shaped sprays of deep, lustrous green foliage arranged in layered tiers that create a refined, architectural quality. This very slow-growing cultivar eventually reaches 2 to 4 feet tall and forms a dense, rounded to broadly pyramidal mound that develops increasing character and complexity with age. Nana Hinoki prefers good drainage and performs best with consistent moisture and full sun to partial shade in slightly acidic, well-drained soil. Its diminutive scale, beautiful foliage texture, and strong Japanese garden aesthetic make it a classic choice for rock gardens, bonsai training, container planting, and the front of mixed conifer borders. Few dwarf conifers match its combination of refinement and low maintenance.
