Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip: 

When you want a landscape to look “designed,” add repeating verticals. Two or three Golden Pillars placed at consistent spacing can make an ordinary bed look architectural, and the golden foliage keeps the whole scene from feeling heavy.

Why Plant Golden Pillar Hinoki Cypress?

Golden Pillar Hinoki Cypress is the answer when you need something evergreen and vertical, but you don’t want it to feel harsh or plain. The foliage holds golden tones that warm up the landscape all year, while the classic Hinoki fan-like sprays add that layered, sculpted texture that looks intentionally designed. The narrow habit makes it especially useful in real-world landscapes where space is limited, yet you still want height, structure, and that “finished” look in every season.

It’s a strong pick for modern, formal, and mixed garden styles alike, because the shape is clean and the color does the extra work.

How to use Golden Pillar Hinoki Cypress in the landscape?

Use it as a vertical accent near an entry, at the corner of a home, or in a tight foundation bed where a wider evergreen would feel crowded. It’s also excellent along walkways or driveways when planted in a spaced repetition to create a clean, intentional rhythm. Pair it with deep green shrubs and low groundcovers so the golden foliage reads crisp and bright, and keep the base planting simple to emphasize the columnar shape. Give each plant enough room so the natural form stays clean without the need for shearing.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you.

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

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!
