Conifer collectors and other discerning gardeners will love adding this dense, very slow growing jewel to their rock or trough displays, where it eventually takes on a pyramidal form.

Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula'
'Pendula' is a stately tree that develops gently swooping, horizontal branches with gracefully draping, lighter green foliage. It differs from both 'Jubilee' and 'Strict Weeping' in that it grows more slowly and broadens out, becoming wider at the base. Use this popular Alaskan Cedar as an elegant specimen or dramatic focal point in the suburban landscape.

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Chirimen'
The fascinating foliage of this new Japanese selection displays multiple textures and colours. That explains the name, 'Chirimen', which is a dyed crepe fabric traditionally made from silk and used for making kimonos. Each narrow, upright tree becomes a cluster of thick, upright shoots that resemble bottlebrushes, with both juvenile and adult foliage in shades of blue and green. The effect is striking and unusual for a Hinoki cultivar. Use this textural accent where the crinkly, congested foliage will stand out. Requires perfect drainage; sometimes mistakenly listed as 'Chairman'.

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Just Dandy'
This remarkable little Hinoki, selected from amoung thousands of seedlings of Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Gracilis' in 1981, is the best of the best. Compact sprays of dense, finely textured foliage decorate the branches of the low, rounded, spreading plants. Such tight foliage is usually associated with miniature selections that have extremely slow growth, but this superior cultivar grows comparatively faster. It will reach the size of a beach ball within years instead of decades. Ultimately wider than tall, 'Just Dandy' contributes unparalleled grace and beauty to small spaces throughout the year.

Picea glauca 'Rainbow's End'
Superior seasonal colour makes 'Rainbow's End’® a brilliant addition to the summer garden. A second flush of growth transforms the light-green, conical tree in mid-summer into a beacon of bright lemon-yellow. Although similar in size and shape to 'Conica,' the extraordinary color of this tree offers a dramatic summer surprise. Found as a mutation at Iseli Nursery in 1978, it appreciates consistent moisture, good nutrition and an occasional blast from the garden hose during summer to increase pest resistance.
