'Split Rock' Hinoki Cypress

'Split Rock' Hinoki Cypress is a highly distinctive dwarf conifer prized for its densely compact, irregular form and unique foliage that appears to split into tightly congested, mossy-looking clusters of dark green leaves. Growing very slowly to about 2 to 4 feet tall over many years, this unusual cultivar develops increasing character and personality with age, with each plant taking on a slightly different sculptural quality. Its congested, bun-like growth form and unusual texture make it exceptional for rock gardens, troughs, bonsai culture, and specialty alpine collections. Split Rock thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and full sun to partial shade. Its extraordinary, character-filled appearance and very slow growth make it a prized and conversation-worthy specimen for dedicated plant enthusiasts.
