A stunning gem for the miniature garden, shear it in late winter to keep its compact shape or just let it do what it does naturally: let its frond-like branches reach for the sky.

An unusual Hinoki for the miniature garden, fairy garden or railroad garden that can add a completely different texture to the mini landscape. The foliage looks like ferns. It can stand alone as a focal point or trim-away the bottom-most branches (at anytime) to make it look like a tree in miniature, (in this case, keep it sheared to keep the canopy-shape but shear it in late winter.) . A treat to grow.

Prune in late winter to keep it bushy. 

• Growth: 6” – 8" per year – a slower-growing in cooler areas.
• Shape: Upright broad

• Hardiness: Cold hardy Zones 5-8 or to -20F
• Heat Hardy: Heat Zones 8-1

FAQ - Shipping Info:

Our Terms and Conditions

We ONLY guarantee delivery of our plant material DURING SHIPMENT when sent by PRIORITY MAIL and it is 99.9% reliable.

THIS IS YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE DURING CHECKOUT.

Plant material shipped by Ground Advantage may be cheaper, but we simply can NOT guarantee your plants will arrive safely and stress-free.

Ground Advantage is only 75% reliable - so far - the only "advantage" is the price when shipping LIVE PLANT MATERIAL.

In some areas, Ground Advantage can take up to 12 days to get your order - which puts a LOT of stress on the plants and is not recommended, nor guaranteed.

Our trees, shrubs and perennial plants can last for years with the proper care. Please invest in the guaranteed Priority Mail shipping method to reduce the stress on your new plants. 

But it is your choice during checkout.
