Chamaecyparis obtusa is commonly referred to as the Hinoki cypress or Japanese cypress. Among its many cultivars, ‘Birgit’ is an unusual and fairly rare example.
‘Birgit’ is known for its tight, clump forming growth habit, almost coral like in appearance.
‘Birgit’ grows slowly and is compact in size.
Like other Chamaecyparis obtusa varieties, ‘Birgit’ likes well-drained soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types as long as they don’t retain excessive moisture. While it can thrive in full sun, it also does well in partial shade.
Thanks to its unusual appearance and compact form, ‘Birgit’ is a favourite for accentuating rock gardens, borders, or even as a stand-alone specimen in a pot or container.
‘Birgit’ rarely requires pruning due to its slow growth rate. Regular watering is essential during its early years and in prolonged dry spells, but it’s essential not to let the plant sit in soggy soil.
Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Birgit’ is hardy when mature and can withstand cold temperatures down to -20C.
