The Hinoki Cypress has a pyramidal form with a loose growing habit. The scale-like leaves remain green during the winter. It is a low-maintenance shrub that needs very little pruning to maintain its tidy form. Heat and cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 8, resistant to most pests and diseases, and are seldom bothered by deer unless they are desperate. These are easy-to-grow evergreens with few issues to deal with once established. Landscape Application: Tempelhof False Cypress draws the eye when used as a singular specimen or showy groupings in your front yard! This beautiful evergreen is excellent as a corner foundation planting or low hedge dividing your front yard from the sidewalk. Try mixing and matching Tempelhof with Koster's False Cypress for a layered effect. Not only great at drawing the eye but also great at hiding ugly eyesores! Hide the messy neighbor's backyard or junk car with a tidy hedge. Try placing one in front of crawl spaces or utility boxes, and because of their tolerance of a bit more moisture, plant near your HVAC unit to conceal it and soak up the extra moisture. Tempelhof will provide an excellent background for perennials and be used as a border or hedge, lending its ornamental nature everywhere it goes! False Cypress won't outgrow their spaces and look best when allowed to grow to their mature height and width and when allowed to keep their limbs growing down to the ground.
