Tempelhof Hinoki False Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Tempelhof’)

The Tempelhof Compact Hinoki Cypress, ‘Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Tempelhof’, is a vigorous grower, producing coarse, scalloped foliage. This beautiful, small shrub is excellent for a foundation planting or placed in front of crawl spaces or utility boxes. It will also provide an excellent background for perennials and be used as a border or hedge, lending its ornamental nature everywhere it goes.

The golden-yellow outer foliage contrasts with the darker green inner foliage, giving it a two-tone effect in the landscape. This is an evergreen plant that is resistant to deer and rabbits. It endures light shade well and its foliage will be fuller in full sun. The Hinoki Cypress has a pyramidal form with a loose growing habit.

The scale-like leaves remain green during the winter. It is a low maintenance shrub that needs very little pruning. Remove any dieback and only the new growth of the current season for best results.
