Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Angel Hair' has very fine, textured threadbranch foliage. It adds a light airy element to the garden. Although it has a maximum size of 1.8 m x 1.8 m (6 x 6 ft), this is for a mature plant left untrimmed. This variety can be trimmed to achieve a smaller size and shape. It grows 7-15 cm (3-6 in) per year. It does best in an area that is protected from strong winds.
'Angel Hair' is best planted in a moist, well-drained soil, in full sun. Use as a specimen or plant in groupings. It is easy to shape with regular clipping.
