Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Albovariegata' / white-variegated Hinoki cypress

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Albovariegata' is a robust, upright, broadly pyramidal selection of Hinoki cypress with open branching; and dark-green foliage, randomly splashed with conspicuous white variegation. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 40 inches (1 m) tall and wide, an annual growth rate of 4 to 6 inches (10 -15 cm).

This cultivar has been known in large gardens in Europe since the 1860s. It's first mention in botanical literature was in 1887 by Ludwig Beissner in Handbuch der Coniferen-Benennung.
