Mini Tree Set of 2: Nana Lutea Hinoki & Tsukumo Dwarf Sawara Cypress

A set of two baby conifers, for true miniature garden, railroad gardens, pre-bonsai start or for conifer collectors. The Nana Lutea Hinoki Cypress and the Tskukumo Cypress are hardy, easy to grow and comes in 2 1/4" pots as shown.

They can be planted in full sun to part sun with well-draining soil. Let them dry out to barely damp in between watering sessions if they are grown in a container, to avoid over-watering. Don't let the soil dry out completely.

Shelter them from the hot, western summer sun in warmer zones if planted in a container to help prevent the soil from drying out too fast and too often. In-ground, they have Mother Earth to help regulate the moisture of the soil. 

• As a group, cold hardy to zones 5 to 8, or to -10F
• Heat hardy zones 8 to 1
• Winter Maintenance: Clean out the dead leaves inside the trees when you see it
• These are young, baby plants that will need shelter from the extremes
  
  
• Full sun to part sun
• For containers or in-ground

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

More Plant Details, in the order as they appear:

A finely textured, soft green bun that is a must for any miniature gardener. The Tsukumo is prized by bonsai artists so we know it will be a great miniature garden tree.

A favorite for bonsai.
