Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana'

Believed by many conifer growers to be the one of the teeniest of all the dwarf Hinoki Cypress. Its slow growth rate of approx. 1/2" inch a year means this baby is going to take awhile to outgrow a trough or container. The sculptural habit of its tight but irregular form makes 'Nana' a focal point in miniature gardens.
