Hinoki Cypress in hot climate
Comments (6)I have some experience with cultivars of Hinoki here. Tempelhof-planted 10/14/03. Was 13" by 16", now 25" by 25" Crippsii-planted 3/24/04. Was 12" by 13", now 52" by 42" They have both done well with no pampering. I have never fertilized and watered only during the first few months of establishment. I have them located in sun with Tempelhof receiving all day and Crippsii most of the day. I have not noticed any foliage burn on Crippsii at all and it is eye popping most of the year. There are a lot of large Crippsii(one very large) around here in full sun and they are outstanding. Here is my Crippsii on May 5 last year...........See MoreHinoki Cypress in container? Or not?
Comments (2)I'd definitely be willing to move it to the north side of the house. This is our first year in this house, so I'm not sure how much winter sun it will get because we do have a large hedgerow of mature white pines that is currently blocking the sun until around 10:30/11:00 am. And the area in question is in shade (now) by 2:30/3:00. If I were to plant it in the ground would the winter sun (if there is a lot of it) still be problematic? Maybe a container is even the better option. I was considering a large glazed ceramic container with a single big hole (1" 1/2), and planned to situate it on top of some gravel to ensure proper drainage. Would this be suitable? Thanks for your advice! Melissa...See Morehinoki cypress
