Bright, zippy lemon yellow bursts for your landscape

This delightful selection of Hinoki cypress stands out with its striking, vibrant lemon yellow foliage that brightens any garden. With a more refined and denser stature than the traditional yellow variety, it presents a beautifully uniform appearance. The flatter fans of this conifer, along with its strong, upright central leader and sturdy trunk, make it a truly eye-catching focal point that enhances the drama of your outdoor space.

When planting this tree, consider positioning it where it will have ample space to grow. Its bold color and graceful form will create a stunning visual impact in larger landscapes, acting as a centerpiece that draws the eye. Adding this tree to your garden not only elevates the aesthetic but also promotes a sense of warmth and liveliness in your outdoor environment.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a location with well-draining soil and ample sunlight to encourage healthy growth and vibrancy.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first season to establish deep roots, then reduce frequency. Ensure the soil remains moist but never waterlogged.

3. Pruning: Prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. This tree naturally maintains its shape, so minimal intervention is needed to keep it looking well-groomed.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can promote excessive leaf growth at the expense of overall health.
