Overview

Cryptomeria japonica, commonly known as Japanese Cedar, is a stately evergreen conifer with a pyramidal form, reaching up to 60 feet in height and 20-30 feet in spread. Its needle-like leaves exhibit a rich green hue, turning bronze in cold weather. Preferring full sun to partial shade, this monotypic genus thrives in moist, well-drained soils. Its reddish-brown, exfoliating bark and tiered branches add year-round interest to landscapes.
