This is a gem of an evergreen and never fails to attract comments and attention in my garden. The variety "Nana" stays even smaller than the regular Hinoki, although the latter takes years to reach a full six feet here in the Midwest. The false cypress family is a large and interesting one, but many don't do well with the Midwest's hot, humid summers. Hinoki is a wonderful exception. If you want a really elegant addtion to your garden, plant this one.
