Tempelhof Hinoki False Cypress

A vigorous grower with uniquely held branching, the ornamental Tempelhof Hinoki False Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Tempelhof') produces showy scalloped foliage that makes this lovely shrub stand out!

Tempelhof has a golden-yellow outer foliage that contrasts with the darker green inner foliage, giving it a two-tone effect in the landscape. The Hinoki Cypress has a pyramidal form with a loose growing habit. The scale-like leaves remain green during the winter. It is a low-maintenance shrub that needs very little pruning to maintain its tidy form.

Heat and cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 8, resistant to most pests and diseases, and are seldom bothered by deer unless they are desperate. These are easy-to-grow evergreens with few issues to deal with once established.

Landscape Application:

Tempelhof False Cypress draws the eye when used as a singular specimen or showy groupings in your front yard! This beautiful evergreen is excellent as a corner foundation planting or low hedge dividing your front yard from the sidewalk. Try mixing and matching Tempelhof with Koster's False Cypress for a layered effect.

Not only great at drawing the eye but also great at hiding ugly eyesores! Hide the messy neighbor's backyard or junk car with a tidy hedge. Try placing one in front of crawl spaces or utility boxes, and because of their tolerance of a bit more moisture, plant near your HVAC unit to conceal it and soak up the extra moisture.

Tempelhof will provide an excellent background for perennials and be used as a border or hedge, lending its ornamental nature everywhere it goes! False Cypress won't outgrow their spaces and look best when allowed to grow to their mature height and width and when allowed to keep their limbs growing down to the ground.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

The Hinoki False Cypress is an evergreen conifer that is resistant to deer and rabbits. It endures light shade well and its foliage will be fuller and more colorful in full sun. Plant in a well-drained soil location with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch. Provide regular moisture access as these plants can only tolerate brief drought once established. Prune in spring to remove any dieback and only the new growth of the current season for best results.

• Full Sun & Afternoon Shade In Hotter Climates
• Well-Drained Acidic Soil Locations
• Regular Moderate Moisture
• Prune Lightly In Spring
