Sekka Hinoki cypress make great shohin or mame sized trees. The Sekka is the smallest of the hinoki cypresses and has become very sought after.
These young plants have been wired to get foliage growing on all sides around the trunk.
They are still fairly flexible so if a change of shape is required that can be done.
Usually grown in an upright style they will thicken up and fill out quite quickly when given the right treatment.
 
These evergreen dwarf type Hinoki cypress has bright green foliage, arranged in whorls along the branches, and attractive, fissured, reddish -brown bark when older. Native to Japan it is normally hardy in temperate areas, although plants may need some protection in a frost-free shed or greenhouse if winter temperatures fall below -5°C. Hinoki Cypress will happily survive in full sun throughout the growing season. Water regularly from spring to early autumn and occasionally during dry spells in the winter so that the soil remains moist.
