#6 - Hinoki Falsecypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa)

In the rich flora of Japan, the Hinoki Falsecypress is considered one of the most beautiful trees. At Haverford, our specimen justifies this distinction with its dark green, scale-like foliage, small intricately-incised cones and elegant columnar form. This tree is a Pennsylvania State Champion, the largest known tree of its kind in the state, and measures 75 feet tall, 46 feet wide.
