Dwarf Hinoki Cypress Planting

[@crystalchunn6925]

My plant wish list keeps growing with every new video!

[@donnafreeman8911]

Fell in love with the HINOKI cypress seeing/buying one 8 inches tall. Nursery never stated it was slow and wanted for middle container middle of yard. Chinese use that size for bonzai. I walk by and laugh now knowing it needs replacement where it is. But it is adorable w fan like end branches.

Thanks Jim. I follow you as a charlotte gardener and I just bought a golden variety of this plant today. Exactly the video I needed from exactly the gardener I can trust.

[@kingpin1118]

I planted it today. My problem was rocks lol so many rocks. Hoping I spaced it far enough from the house.

[@ErikAsquith]

I had planted 5 of these two years ago. Last winter one was decimated by deer and another two were heavily eaten as well. I was able to get them to all grow and fill out, but one is still pretty thin. This winter I have been spraying everything with deer off from Havahart - so far it appears to be working, but my dog sure love the smell...

[@meredith3588]

My favorite evergreen tree ! I have six in my yard and will always add more if I find a good specimen.

[@landdesigner4195]

I love these and love to use them in designs here. Just like you have there, it needs protection from 3pm on here in OK.

[@Bunny-rh1yy]

I love the shape and color of this one.

[@amynelsongreen3243]

I love hinoki cypress! Thanks for this video! I have a Gracilis in a very large container in front of my house that I adore. I love the year-round interest and the unique form.

[@IcecoldDan26]

Great plant! I've been growing one as a bonsai for about 5 years now in a shallow pot on a rack in my back yard. Love it!

[@mikenealon4042]

hinoki's are awesome! that specimen you've planted there is phenomenal!

[@jebprendergast101]

I’ve been going back and forth between one of these and a gold mop for a while now... this made up my mind! Thanks!

[@ytubechannel997]

I think many of the Chamaecyparis varieties have the truest shades of green in the garden. Such beautiful color and texture.

[@JimPutnam]

Very true!!

[@joannereinauer7532]

Love hinoki Cyprus.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Good to see one for my zone5. Looks good

[@jamesdemby2932]

I have been on the edge of putting a golden dwarf hanoki as a foundation plant where I have some windows about 8 feet off the ground. Was thinking yesterday is it was too cold to plant them in Raleigh right now, but I guess you answered that for me! Thanks for the great video

[@JimPutnam]

Definitely a good time to be planting conifers!

[@lunch2102]

In Australia, that sized Nana Gracilis will set you back a couple hundred bucks

[@fiamond]

I love the look of this plant. would be great in a Japanese garden

[@JimPutnam]

Very much!!

[@jeffzimmerman25]

I have a version called Confusious love it!

[@raphlvlogs271]

they look coral like.

[@passepartoot]

Well, this is timely. I was hoping to plant a Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Crippsii,' a gold-leafed Hinoki, as a specimen here in zone 8a Virginia. In full, all-day sun. If your little Gracilis would burn in all-day sun, than the gold-leafed 'Crippsii' wll fare worse here. So, on to the B-list. I'll plant Cryptomeria japonica 'Sekkan Sugi' instead.

[@JimPutnam]

Good call.

[@jacobr3193]

Hey Jim, any online plant sales coming up soon we should be looking for. I’m ready for spring!

[@natee2169]

Hey can you do a video on the Japanese Stewartia tree?

[@natee2169]

Thinking about putting some down my driveway thanks

[@tazmankb26]

Interesting tree- never heard of it- bark looks similar to Crape Myrtle but with better color. I may just have to plant one- thanks for recommendation.

[@natee2169]

@@tazmankb26 Yeah kind of a shorter slow growing tree with some width. Gets white flowers for about a month during early summer late spring. Cool bark and great fall color. Possibly might get 8 of these for my long driveway

[@JimPutnam]

It was actually on my list to go where the serviceberry is in the front yard. I'll look at the arboretum tomorrow to see if there is one to film there.

[@natee2169]

@@JimPutnam Sweet! Thanks

[@mcbugga]

Have some bright yellowing outward from branches! Help

[@kathyh9423]

How close to a foundation do you think this could be planted?

[@ahcrx]

Great video...im planning to plant a row of them. How far do you suggest apart I should grow them?

[@doreengelina]

Hey Jim! Question - I just purchased 2 of these beauties. They are about the same size, but one has one single leader branch sticking about a foot above the rest of the plant, in the middle. Would you trim that off, or stake it? Thanks!

[@loriparsons3655]

I planted a dwarf Hinoki Cypress last year and this week the deer have devoured every last bit of green. It was my favorite. 😢. Will it come back or did I just spend a large amount of $ on deer food?

[@sumdude4281]

Does this spread Cedar Apple Rust to apple trees?

[@nancyw5779]

What’s the difference between dwarf hinoki cypress and hinoki falsecypress - if any?

[@itzmaddzn5340]

get into it

[@JeanTOM-qb5dm]

Jim, how direct tolerant are they in Zone 7A?

[@raphlvlogs271]

are they shade tolerant enough to be grown as houseplants?

[@bohnnco]

I never see bigger nana lutea - only nana gracilis. Did you see any nana lutea there by chance? I live with a very heavy deer popular and they never touch any of my chamaecyparis obtusa. I often see deer prints all around them too.

[@JimPutnam]

I usually only see them in 3 gallon containers here. They bleach in the sun a bit here.

[@beagarza76]

We have really thick sticky clay here in South Texas. Do you recommend using gypsum? I bought a bag of soil conditioner at my local garden center, and they recommended it(gypsum). I just don't know how well that would work or if I would even see a difference any time soon or if that is noticeable in the future.

[@debbiesampath1179]

Hi there. I am in north TX between Dallas and Ft. Worth. I have seen several videos recommending gypsum also. It is cheap so I would try it and just keep adding compost and maybe a little pine bark to aerate the clay. I use HappiGrow Compost for $3.35 at LOWES for many years and it works well to improve the clay soil. Happy Gardening!!

[@beagarza76]

@@debbiesampath1179 Hi Debbie. Well I went ahead and sprinkled some gypsum. And yes, I'm also adding soil conditioner little by little. I'm hoping to notice a difference in a couple of weeks when I start adding annuals to my flower bed. I'll buy some HappiGrow compost to add as well. Thank you for the recommendation. I appreciate it!
