Torulosa Hinoki Cypress is a very slow-growing evergreen conifer shrub with a broadly conical upright habit and dense contorted branching. The twisting splays of dark green scale-like leaves stay green year round. Best color in full sun and average well-drained soil. Very drought tolerant once established.
