Hage Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Hage') is the miniature version of the Japanese Hinoki Cypress. This Dwarf Tree is very compact and its foliage is a dark green color. They are very slow-growing plants and only grow about 1 inch each year. This plant reaches a height and width of 1 to 2 feet tall over its entire lifespan. As Hage Hinoki Cypress ages, its appearance will look sculpture-like, making it a beautiful feature in any garden.

This plant thrives in hardiness zones 5 through 9 and prefers well-draining, fertile soil, a regular watering schedule, and some sun but mostly shade. It is also crucial to shelter your shrub from the wind it could cause damage to this delicate plant.

How to Care for Hage Hinoki Cypress

Before you buy a Hage Hinoki Cypress Shrub, make sure to read about the recommended care instructions to keep this plant healthy and thriving!

How Do I Plant My Hage Hinoki Cypress Shrubs?

How Do I Plant My Hage Hinoki Cypress Shrubs?

When planting your shrub, dig a hole twice the size of the root system and deep enough to plant at the same level the shrub was in in the container. If your soil is poor, dig a hole even wider and fill it with a mixture of half original soil and half compost. This will help give your plant the proper nutrients it needs. Gently separate your plant's roots and position them in the center of your pre-dug hole. Fill in the hole with original soil or an amended mixture if needed. Make sure to thoroughly water and fertilize your plant during the planting process.

How do I fertilize Hage Hinoki Cypress?

How do I fertilize Hage Hinoki Cypress?

When your plant is young, use a phosphorus-rich fertilizer. At the time of planting, apply the recommended amount of fertilizer directly into the soil. You can use this fertilizer for the first growing season of your Hinoki Cypress. Once your plant is established, you can fertilize your shrub once a year. Use any good quality fertilizer that works best in your garden. Be sure not to fertilize late in the growing season or too close to the dormancy period. Feeding this late could hurt your plant while it is in dormancy and result in a not-so-great growing season the following year.
