What arrived was nothing like what was advertised. Tree was already pruned, leaving only a few branches and limited styling options.
Nice plant. Well packaged. Arrive safe and sound. Would buy from this supplier again.
Hinoki Cypress:(Chamaecyparis obtusa), also commonly known as a false cypress or Japanese Cypress because they do not belong to the cypress family of trees, is a renowned variety for Bonsai. Hinoki Cypress is a very unique and rewarding species grown as Bonsai. Its dense growth habit and fern-like tight foliage make this a unique tree with a special character.
Our Hinoki Cypresses are the highly desirable dwarf Thowiel cultivar.
Although this is not a tree recommended for beginners, it is definitely a show stopper. We would not recommend the Hinoki Cypress to someone just starting out in Bonsai, but instead to Bonsai Enthusiasts with a few trees under their belt.
BONSAI CARE
The Hinoki Cypress needs full sun and can be placed anywhere in the garden, but it must be outside until the temperature drops below freezing. Being in a pot, the Hinoki Cypress will require winterizing, and unlike many other varieties, it will still require light. So it should be placed in an unheated greenhouse or sunny enclosed porch for the winter.
