Why Plant Dwarf Slender Hinoki Cypress?
Dwarf Slender Hinoki Cypress is a choice evergreen accent in a class by itself. This tidy, compact version of the elegant Hinoki Cypress Tree displays wavy fans of lustrous deep green foliage and a rounded habit. It’s like a little green cloud for your landscape, and it’s just as soft as it looks. Use it to soften the hard edges of stone, brick, or metal or to make a pleasing contrast to plants that have a pyramidal or columnar shape. Dwarf Slender Hinoki Cypress maintains an impeccable appearance year-round, and what’s more, it does so while making very few demands on your busy schedule. Hinoki Cypress is native to Japan, where it can become a towering 100-foot-plus tree that brushes the sky. But don’t worry! This selection will never get bigger than 2 or 3 feet. Gardeners and nurserypeople with a sharp eye will sometimes find “sports,” or mutations of plants, that can be propagated to retain their unique characteristics. That’s what happened to this selection long ago. Dwarf Slender Hinoki Cypress originated in Japan; no one knows how long it has been grown there, but it was introduced to the West in the 1850s when Japan opened its borders. After all that time, this stellar plant is still a favorite in Japan, the U.S., and around the world.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
