Chamaecyparis obtusa
When to plant hinoki falsecypress
Plant this conifer in early spring, before new growth begins, or in early fall. Extension guidance rates those two windows as best because roots can establish before summer heat or a hard freeze; container or balled-and-burlapped stock goes in during these cooler, low-stress periods.
Hinoki Falsecypress is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
