Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana'

Evergreen Conifer, Shrub

'Nana' is an extremely slow-growing, very petite dwarf conifer with dark green, needled foliage. This is a wonderful structural, accent plant. Perfect for small gardens and/or makes a great container specimen. Buy as big as you can find and/or afford if you're planting directly into the garden. It may eventually mature over time to a flat-topped, but irregular, bun 2-3' tall with a slightly wider spread. In typical garden setting, it will remain much smaller for quite some time.
