Perfect for garden beds or pots, the Golden Dwarf Hinoki Cypress Tree, or what we call “standard topiary,” wows with delicate fans of golden-yellow foliage that form a rounded to pyramidal form atop a straight, single trunk. Its smaller size makes it a perfect choice as a focal point specimen in smaller spaces or in containers. 

The Dwarf Golden Hinoki Cypress is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic. Avoid overwatering. Provide only enough water to keep the soil damp to moist. Established plants are quite drought tolerant and will only require an occasional watering during prolonged periods of drought. Maintenance is minimal. No pruning required except to remove a stray branch that is spoiling the shape of the plant or to remove a damaged plant part.
