Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Also known as 'Torulosa', this unique hinoki cypress features heavy, twisted, thread-like foliage that is somewhat reminiscent of coral. Bright-green foliage and wonderfully irregular, pyramidal growth habit make it an interesting conversation piece and an excellent subject for bonsai. This 6-8' shrub is low-maintenance and makes a fine hedge plant. S/M
