Evergreens are the backbones of the garden. They “hold the fort down” with their steady foliage display no matter the weather or season. Unfortunately, the downside to being such a stalwart in the garden is that it’s easy to overlook the graceful beauty of evergreens. Until now!
The Jade Waves® Fernspray False Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Filicoides’) refuses to fall by the wayside and become a wallflower! This striking evergreen is relatively unheard of in American gardens, but that will soon change!
These shrubs grow into a small tree form in a loose, fluffy pyramid shape without any pruning required. The limbs are gently curved and covered in enchanting foliage that looks almost like a Fern gone rogue. You can’t help but want to reach out and touch it. (Trust us on this. You’ll see!)
Hardy and adaptable throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 8, Hinoki False Cypress are easy to grow due to their low-maintenance growth! Pest and disease-resistant too, you’ll love the curious texture Fernspray will display year-round in your landscape.
Landscape Application:
Gorgeous specimens, and dramatic hedges when used in rows or groupings, the shape and form of this unique evergreen will stand out and turn heads! A must-have specimen and anchor for your landscape, these 8 – 12 foot tall shrubby trees are ideal for softening corners of your home, and outbuildings, or as sentries to mark either side of a pathway entrance or your front entry!
Fernspray makes a great backdrop behind the border, you’ll want it to be growing closer so that you and your garden guests can see the gorgeous foliage up close. Try a pair flanking a doorway or defining the entry path to your own secret garden. It is perfect in an Asian-inspired garden, but it also looks fantastic in a contemporary setting or even a woodland garden.
Growing just 3-4 feet wide at maturity, any sized garden can enjoy these showy evergreens! Even large container gardens and planters if you are a balcony gardener!

ProPlantTips for Care:
False Cypress do best in full sun for the best color and need well-drained soil locations that are slightly acidic. These evergreens also do best with regular moisture access and a mulched garden bed. Rarely needing pruning, give yours a trim in the spring if needed, and remove any winter dieback.
- Full Sun
- Moderate Moisture Needs & Any Well-Drained Soil Location
- Prune In Spring
- Low Maintenance
- Deer Resistant
Pictures really don’t do this evergreen justice. You’ll want to order one to see for yourself. And then you’ll want a couple once you see them! Be the trendsetter in your neighborhood with Fernspray Hinoki False Cypress. You’ll be glad you did!
