Golden Fernspray Hinoki Cypress – 5 Gallon Pot

Note: In hot summer climates of Zones 7 and 8, this cultivar will appreciate some filtered sun or shade during the midafternoon hours when the sunlight is most intense during the summer months. Direct sun in the morning to early afternoon and in the late afternoon and evening is fine. For the best foliage color, we suggest at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Growing 8 to 12 tall and 5 to 6 feet wide at maturity, the Golden Fernspray Hinoki Cypress is ideal for use as a focal point specimen or spaced grouping in small to medium-sized landscape spaces and home foundation plantings. It is also a good candidate for pots, planters, and other containers. It is a fine addition to conifer gardens, yellow theme gardens, and Asian theme gardens. 

Golden Fernspray Cypress prefers moist but well-drained soil with average fertility and full sun to partial shade. The foliage color will be more intense with more sun. In Zones 7 and 8, we suggest filtered sun or shade during the afternoon when the sunlight is most intense. Morning and evening direct sunlight is fine. Constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. When the plant is young, check soil moisture and provide supplemental irrigation only if necessary to keep the soil damp to moist but not wet. When established, this Cypress is drought tolerant and would only need supplemental irrigation during prolonged periods of dry weather during summer. A light feeder, fertilize lightly in spring with a slow-release shrub and tree type fertilizer or a mild, organic plant food. Except to remove a stray or damaged plant part, no pruning is required.
