Plant Details:
Common Name: Kosteri Hinoki Cypress, Dwarf Hinoki Cypress
Great Plant Picks - ‘Kosteri’ is a beautiful conifer, slow growing and loosely pyramidal in habit, with glossy, dark green foliage that twists, creating a sumptuous texture. The branches grow in a graceful layered habit which add to the elegance of this tight, dense grower. It is an excellent choice for growing as a container plant. Hinoki cypress will grow best in full sun but tolerates light to dappled shade. It adapts to a variety of soils, from sandy sites to clay, provided the location is well-drained. Once established it is very drought tolerant, requiring little to no summer watering even during prolonged droughts. It requires very little pruning and heavy pruning can ruin its unique appearance. Only prune to remove dead, broken or poorly formed branches.
