Native to Southern Japan, the elegant Dwarf Hinoki Cypress grows into a distinctive, handsome tree. This type of false cypress tree is much heartier than other varieties of its species and is more prone to survive because of that feature. This conical-shaped evergreen's broad, sweeping form has graceful, flattened, fern-like branches that droop gently at its branch tips. It showcases dark green foliage and attractive, shredding, reddish-brown bark that peels off in long narrow strips developing a striking texture with age. Following Japanese tradition, only unglazed containers are used for potting this outdoor bonsai. Thrives outdoors above 20 degrees with protection and below 90 degrees.
