Pygmaea is a dwarf variety of cypřišek tupolistý which makes short and wide sprays of thread-like, linear branches covered with tiny, scale-like leaves. Their colour is fresh green to yellow green. It is an evergreen conifer which shows a beautiful effect of tiered branches with age. Commonly it grows to about 1.5m tall and a little wider in 25-30 years.
Hinoki cypress likes medium fertile, acid to neutral, moist but well-drained soil. Grow it preferably in full sun or only a light shade so that the plant keeps its compact shape and bottom branches. Pruning or trimming can be done in early spring after all frosts. Mulching is recommended for keeping the soil moist. Fully hardy to -29°C (USDA zone 5).
