Planting and Care Tips
Plant
Set the Hinoki Cypress in well-draining, slightly acidic soil with the root ball level to the ground, spacing 5–10 feet apart depending on variety and mature size.
Feed
Feed once in early spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer formulated for evergreens to support rich foliage color..
Water
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy, watering deeply once or twice a week during the first growing season and during dry spells.
Prune
Prune lightly in late spring or early summer to maintain its natural shape, removing only dead or overcrowded branches.
Exposure
Plant in full sun to partial shade, with at least 4–6 hours of sunlight daily for best color and form.
