Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Gitte'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Gitte' is a distinctive dwarf Hinoki Cypress prized for its unusual twisted branching and rich golden foliage. Forming a compact mound over time, this slow-growing conifer provides year-round colour and architectural interest, making it an excellent choice for contemporary gardens and small spaces. The dense network of twisting stems is clothed in fine sprays of scale-like golden foliage, creating texture and structure throughout the seasons. Its naturally sculptural appearance gives the plant a unique character, allowing it to stand out as a feature specimen in rockeries, gravel gardens and decorative containers.
Slow growing and easy to maintain, 'Gitte' requires very little pruning and develops into an attractive, rounded mound with age. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller gardens where permanent structure and evergreen interest are desired without overwhelming the planting scheme.
