Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Gracilis' (Slender Hinoki False Cypress) is a slow-growing, pyramidal evergreen conifer, often reaching 6–10 feet tall with dark green, fan-like foliage. Renowned for its elegant, arching branchlets and "gracile" (graceful) appearance, it is commonly used for screening, rock gardens, or as a specimen plant in USDA Zones 4–8.
