    Threadleaf False Cypress is a green cascading waterfall. The texture is very fine. It makes an interesting ornamental, resembling a "stringy" (in the nicest sense) arborvitae. Forms a dense mound, usually no higher than 6-8' after 10-15 years. A lovely and different accent plant. Displays good heat tolerance in Zone 7b. Can reach 40-50' in its native Japan.
