A cultivar of the Hinoki cypress ‘Kosteri’, this plant grows at a moderate pace and features loosely tiered, feathery branches that drape in a petticoat-like fashion. Its emerald green foliage develops a touch of bronze in winter. Deer resistant and highly ornamental, it offers all the fine textural qualities of the dwarf form but at nearly twice the growth rate. An excellent choice for use as a specimen or screen.
