Description

Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Spiralis’ is a unique ornamental dwarf conifer, prized for its distinctive twisted foliage and naturally sculptural form. It develops a compact to rounded silhouette, composed of thick, spiraling branches that give it a highly decorative architectural appearance, particularly valued in Japanese gardens, rock gardens, and contemporary landscapes. Its evergreen dark green, lustrous, and dense foliage maintains a neat appearance year-round and provides a strong structural presence in the garden. Slow-growing, it retains modest dimensions for a long time, making it ideal for small spaces and container cultivation. Well-suited to Quebec conditions, Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Spiralis’ prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and a location protected from winter winds.
