Chamaecyparis o. 'Spiralis' #3

Few trees can claim the dramatic architectural quality of the incredible Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Spiralis’. A striking narrow habit and attractive bark contribute to the beauty of each specimen. But it is the very dense, finely textured foliage naturally sculpted on spiraling branches that account for the awe factor. Slow growing and ideal for large courtyard containers, this choice selection has a delicate constitution that requires perfect conditions. Grow in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. In warmer climates with hot summers, it is best to provide afternoon shade. Grows 4' tall and 3' wide in 15 years and is hardy to Zone 5.
