The trees in this set are outdoor trees and come in 2 1/4" pots as shown. They can be planted in full sun with good-draining soil. Let them dry out a bit in between watering sessions if they are grown in a container, to avoid over-watering.
The Blue Star Juniper can tolerate a little more sun and drier soil than the other two Cypress, but never let the soil dry out completely. Protect these trees from extremes while they are young - they are baby trees.
- As a group, hardy to zone 4 / -30F
- As a group, Heat hardy zones 6
- Winter Maintenance: Clean out the dead leaves inside the shrubs when you see it.
- Full sun - avoid that hot, summer afternoon sun while they are little

- All are outdoor plants
- Come in 2 1/4" pots

Tompa Miniature Norway Spruce - Picea abies 'Tompa'
A very reliable, hardy, sun-loving, slow-growing dwarf for the miniature garden. The Tompa spruce loves being in a container and can last for years and years. The photo with the larger Tompa Spruce shows growth after 10 years.
You'll get a lot of enjoyment out of this one. After several years, gently prune-away the lower branches to make it look more like a tree if desired.

Fernspray Gold Hinoki Cypress - Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Fernspray Gold'
A favorite. This dainty looking Hinoki cypress is just a gem to grow in your miniature garden. The foliage changes throughout the year. In spring, it is a rich emerald green color, then the foliage turns a wonderful gold color when the plant is kept in full sun. In the winter, the tree blushes in an array of amber tones if the temperatures are cold enough - see the third photo for the winter colors.
The branches arch out in a whimsical way from the center of the tree, and it looks like a full-sized tree in miniature when the bottom branches are trimmed away to show some of the trunk. One of my favorite Hinokis.
Trim in late winter if you want to keep it bushy.
