The Hinoki Cypress 'Crippsii' ( Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Crippsii')
likes some afternoon shade in our hot sunny climate
but if it doesn't get enough sun the color is not as good.
It is worth seeking out the perfect site for this lovely tree
Wonderful winter interest plant
The interior of the tree gets quite brown at this time of year .
This is not as noticeable as on say 'Boulevard' which I removed from the garden because,
although planted for winter interest, the brown foliage seemed most prominent ( & ugly ) in winter!
This one is from a cutting I made from my previous garden about 12 years ago. It is small enough to grab the trunk give it a good shake and slough off the old brown foliage.
