Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Just Dandy’ Iseli®: This hinoki cypress is a remarkable seedling selected in 1981 from thousands grown from Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana Gracilis’. The dense, finely textured, glossy, bright green foliage is held in compact sprays on a low, rounded, spreading plant. Typically, such dense foliage is associated with slow-growing, miniature selections. However, the lush growth on this superior cultivar will produce a substantial dwarf in a few years rather than decades. ‘Just Dandy’ should perform well in a sunny to partly shaded site in USDA zones 5 through 8.

Shipping Date Options: You will be asked to select your preferred shipping date. If ordering maples, please be sure to select February or March as these are the only months they can be shipped.

Fine Print: Purchases for the Collectors' Conifer of the Year program are limited to one of each selection per individual. Orders will be honored on a first-received basis. Since the inventory is limited to 50 plants for each offering, ordering early is advantageous to ensure your desired plant(s) is/are available. To efficiently provide notice of availability, ordering will be available online this year at https://www2.conifersociety.org/store/. Each offer comes with a one-year/one-time replacement guarantee should the plants fail to grow during the first year in their appropriate USDA zone. Accompanying each conifer will be an anodized aluminum stake and a Metal photo tag that identifies the plant as a winner of the American Conifer Society’s annual award of “Collectors’ Conifer of the Year” and displays a QR to the society’s website. Likewise, a tag and stake will accompany companion plants. Shipping is included in the listed costs. All orders must be received by January 1, 2026 (unless sold out sooner). We cannot ship outside the continental United States.
