Donīt agree here Wes, look at this article:
Quote:
Chamaecyparis obtusa--Hinoki Cypress
Hardiness Zones: 4 to 8
Height: 65 ft Spread: 15 ft Form: pyramidal
Type: narrow-leaved evergreen tree
Annual Growth Rate: 12 to 18 inches
Comments: In landscape situations, the tree is usually
seen in the form of one of its many cultivars. It has a
moderate growth rate and does not tolerate air pollution.
Hinoki Cypress prefers cool, moist soil and tolerates
partial shade, although it prefers a sunny location. Sun
scorch can be a problem on cultivars with colored foliage.
