Growing slowly in an upright pyramidal form 6 to 8 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide at the base, the Spirited Golden Hinoki Cypress is ideal for use as a focal point specimen or in small groupings in small to medium size landscape spaces, home foundation plantings. Its smaller stature makes it a fine selection for pots, planters and other containers. We don't suggest using this beauty as a hedge, which would take away from its magnificent appeal as a focal point. A fine addition to conifer gardens, yellow theme gardens, and Asian theme gardens. 

Spirited Golden Hinoki Cypress prefers a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Foliage color will be more intense with more sun. Constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. This cypress is a slow-grower that doesn't drink much water, so be careful to avoid overwatering. When the plant is young, check soil moisture and provide supplemental water only if necessary to keep the soil damp to moist, but not wet. It has good drought tolerance when established and would only need supplemental irrigation during prolonged period of dry weather. A light feeder, fertilize lightly in spring with a slow-release shrub and tree type fertilizer or a mild, organic plant food. Except to remove a stray or damaged plant part, no pruning is ever required.
