Chamaecyparis obtusa Templehof

Common Name:
Hinoki Cypress 'Templehof'

Description:
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Templehof' is a compact, slow-growing conifer with dense, layered foliage in vibrant green hues that take on a bronze tint in winter. This cultivar of Hinoki Cypress is highly valued for its elegant, sculptural form, making it a perfect addition to gardens, rockeries, and containers. It thrives in well-draining, fertile soil and prefers a sunny to partly shaded position. 'Templehof' is tolerant of a range of conditions but performs best in a sheltered location with consistent moisture. Its attractive, textural foliage provides year-round interest, and its naturally pyramidal growth habit requires little to no pruning. This hardy, low-maintenance plant is an excellent choice for formal gardens, Japanese-style landscapes, and as a specimen feature.
