Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Chirimen' Dwarf Japanese Hinoki Cypress

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Chirimen' The fascinating foliage of this new Japanese selection displays multiple textures and colors. That explains the name, Chirimen, which is a dyed crepe fabric traditionally made from silk and used for making kimonos. Each narrow, upright tree becomes a cluster of thick, upright shoots that resemble bottlebrushes, with both juvenile and adult foliage in shades of blue and green. The effect is striking and unusual for a Hinoki cultivar. Use this textural accent where the crinkly, congested foliage will stand out. Requires perfect drainage; sometimes mistakenly listed as 'Chairman'.
