Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Gimborn Beauty'

Common Name: Gimborn Beauty Hinoki Cypress, Gimborn Beauty Hinoki False Cypress

'Gimborn Beauty’ produces the graceful spreading branches, attractive reddish-brown bark, and large, upright habit of the species. Its color and texture are unique, though. Feathery, blue, juvenile-type foliage complements elegant sprays of typical adult foliage. The combination gives the tree a softer look, which occasional pruning encourages. Eventually, the familiar gray-green, scale-like foliage dominates this beautiful alternative to full size, green Hinoki selections. (Iseli Nursery)
