Description
Cypress Thoweil Hinoki is a stunning, narrow upright evergreen that adds a bold vertical statement and satisfying texture to the landscape. Its rich, dark green foliage is tightly layered and polished, giving it a refined, architectural form that holds its elegant shape all year long. The columnar habit makes it a beautiful choice for formal designs, entryway accents, or creating a tidy, textural backdrop in borders and foundation plantings. Its dense, slow-growing structure also makes it one of the finest selections for low-maintenance evergreen screens where space is limited.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to part shade
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish a healthy root system; once established, needs only occasional watering during extended dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and help regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune lightly in late spring or early summer if shaping is needed; avoid cutting into older wood
With its sleek form, deep green foliage, and year-round structure, Cypress Thoweil Hinoki delivers a fresh and elegant touch that stands out beautifully in refined or modern landscape designs.
