Iseli Nursery: Dwarf Conifers, Japanese Maples, Living Art®, Bonsai

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'J.R.'

Globose | Zone 5
Miniature | Green

The rich green sprays of foliage on this seedling selection introduced and named for Joe Reis of Long Island, New York, are so tiny, dense and congested that the plant resembles a smooth, green rock. It grows extremely slowly into a rounded, slightly upright form that spreads out with age, ultimately becoming wider than tall. Sometimes mispronounced "Junior", 'J.R.' is a tiny gem that will not outgrow even the smallest space in rock garden, trough or container. Very similar to Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Gnome'.
