Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Butter Ball'
Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Butter Ball’, also known as hinoki cypress ‘Butter Ball’, is a highly prized ornamental dwarf conifer appreciated for its naturally rounded habit and bright foliage. It forms a dense, regular ball without pruning, making it an excellent choice for beds, rockeries, borders, and container plantings. Its evergreen foliage, composed of fine, textured scales, displays a golden yellow to chartreuse green color, particularly vibrant in the sun. Highly decorative throughout the year, it brings structure and contrast to landscape designs. Slow-growing and easy to maintain, ‘Butter Ball’ is well-suited to Quebec gardens when planted in well-drained soil and protected from cold winds. It is a conifer of choice for neat and long-lasting compositions.
