For this demo, Kathy works with a dwarf cultivar of Hinoki Cypess (Chamaecyparis Obtusa 'NANA') This is an evergreen plant that Kathy recommends keeping in the shade, particularly during the summer.
Saikei is an excellent use for immature, potentsai material that can be grown on in the container, yet enjoyed immediately. Later the trees can be re-arranged or planted out individually.
