Hinoki Cypress 'Nana Gracilis' (Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Gracilis')

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana Gracilis’ is a highly prized ornamental dwarf conifer, valued for its compact, elegant habit and finely structured foliage texture. It develops a dense, conical to rounded silhouette, composed of thick, overlapping branches that give it a unique, sculptural appearance, highly sought after in Japanese gardens, rock gardens, and refined landscaping. Its deep dark green evergreen foliage maintains a neat appearance year-round and provides lasting structure to the garden. Being slow-growing, it retains modest dimensions for a long time, making it an excellent choice for small spaces and container cultivation. Well-suited to Quebec conditions, Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana Gracilis’ prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and an exposure protected from cold winds to fully express its graceful habit.
