Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Graciosa'
Height: 10 feet
Spread: 8 feet
Sunlight:
Hardiness Zone: 4a
Description:
A graceful addition to any home landscape, this small accent tree features very finely-textured light green foliage with silvery undersides all season long on a conical form; best used for skyline articulation or as an accent in the yard
Ornamental Features
Graciosa Hinoki Falsecypress is a dwarf conifer which is primarily valued in the landscape or garden for its distinctively pyramidal habit of growth. It has attractive light green foliage with silver undersides which emerges yellow in spring. The small scale-like sprays of foliage are highly ornamental and remain light green throughout the winter.
Landscape Attributes
Graciosa Hinoki Falsecypress is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a distinctive and refined pyramidal form. It lends an extremely fine and delicate texture to the landscape composition which can make it a great accent feature on this basis alone.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub. When pruning is necessary, it is recommended to only trim back the new growth of the current season, other than to remove any dieback. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Graciosa Hinoki Falsecypress is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Accent
- Vertical Accent
- Mass Planting
- Hedges/Screening
- General Garden Use
Planting & Growing
Graciosa Hinoki Falsecypress will grow to be about 10 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 70 years or more.
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
