Melody Dwarf Hinoki Cypress - Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Melody'

Melody is my new favorite Hinoki. The leaves are like lace. I just love the many different colors throughout each branch and the texture is really graceful. Can you tell it's one of my favorite? 

The lemon yellow foliage in summer will bronze a bit in colder winters - that just adds more charm.

The growth shape is narrow when young, and will broaden with age. You really can't beat Melody's color and will brighten your day, all year long.
