Slender Hinoki False Cypress

Graceful and architectural, the slender Hinoki False Cypress is a slow-growing evergreen prized for its elegant, narrow form and feathery, dark green foliage. Perfect for adding year-round vertical interest to small gardens, mixed borders, or foundation plantings, this conifer maintains a soft, layered texture and refined silhouette that complements both formal and natural landscapes.

Its naturally compact, upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for tight spaces, while its low-maintenance nature and deer resistance make it a reliable landscape addition.
