Chamaecyparis obtusa ´Sunspray´
Hinoki Cypress
Zone: 5-8
4´x5´ @ 10 years
2"-4´ year
´Sunspray´ is a dwarf pyramidal shaped hinoki with foliage that will range from bright creamy gold to more of a lime green, depending on sun exposure. It is wider at its base than it is tall, filling in nicely behind its leader. ´Sunspray´s´ small size and growth rate make it a great choice for the small to mid-sized garden areas. Although it does require some sunlight to achieve its creamy colored best, we would caution against full afternoon exposure to intense sun in warmer climates. Morning sun should be more than ample in those areas to achieve the desired coloring.
