It has a light, tufted cloud with dense, soft foliage that stays soft in maturity too.

Shear no more than ⅓ of the foliage at time and train it into any shape. It's really easy to maintain the shape too, just trim the foliage each spring and summer.

It's the natural exfoliation that happens in spring \u0026amp;\/or fall. The tiny shrub holds this dieback inside its branches that can prevent light and air from getting through. Get a pair of gloves on and gently get your fingers inside the branches and slough off any of the dead foliage whenever you see it happening. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWonderful blue-green color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGets an amber blush to the top in the cold months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth: less than 1\" per year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold hardy Zones 4-8, or to -30F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat Zones 8-1 but avoid extremes to be safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun to part shade, watch the hot summer sun if in a container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular water if in a pot, let dry out to just damp in between\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes in a 2\" pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn outdoor plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Fernleaf Cypress – Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Filicoides Compacta’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn unusual Hinoki for the miniature garden, fairy garden or railroad garden that can add a completely different texture to the mini landscape.
