Chamaecyparis obtust compacta (Hinoki Cypress) SIZE

16 years ago
I've read conflicting information on different Googled sites. Discovered Hinoki this summer and it really "curls my toes" as it was put on another thread--Ken? Also "compacta" sounded like it would grow to the ideal size for the small area where it needs to live 6'x 4'. Another foot or two wouldn't be a problem either way, in fact it would be perfect, but one said 25' tall!
We've already had to remove the overgrown yews that were here when we moved in 30 yrs. ago and then the arborvite that got too big before I learned you could prune without harming them.
This time, I'd like to plant something that could remain happy and healthy in our foundation planting for years to come. Help with confusion? Oh, and can I plant this late in fall? We haven't had frost yet.Thanks, Sandy
I've never posted here before but I've been reading for quite some time and have learned a lot and enjoyed the banter and pictures. I'm another conifer fan, especially because of the long winters here. When everything else has deserted us, they still look wonderful. There's nothing like fresh snow on evergreens.
