Description
Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Nana is a dense, rounded dwarf conifer that grows about 1.5 to 3 feet tall and wide. Dark green scale-like foliage forms cord-like, hanging shoots, and older branches may reveal reddish peeling bark.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-drained clay, loam, or sand. It prefers acidic or neutral soil and good air circulation. The compact evergreen form suits courtyards, containers, rock gardens, foundation plantings, low hedges, and small garden spaces.
Water regularly while establishing and during extended dry periods, while avoiding waterlogged soil. Established plants have drought resistance. No routine pruning is required; propagate by grafting or semi-hardwood cuttings. Monitor for aphids, juniper scale, shoot-boring moths, bagworms, root diseases, and juniper blight.
