Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Tempelhof' is a dwarf, oval-shaped, fast-growing selection of Hinoki cypress with rich, yellow-tinted, green, cupped sprays of foliage that assumes a bronze cast in winter. Overall, it is similar to Ch. obtusa 'Nana Gracilis,' except for the distinctive foliage. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 2 feet (60 cm) tall and wide, an annual growth rate of 2 to 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm).
This cultivar originated in 1964 and was named for L. Konijn & Company's Tempelhof Nursery, Boskoop, The Netherlands.
