Cryptomeria japonica Black Dragon

Slow growing Japanese Cedar with deep green, almost back evergreen foliage. Growth is feathery, upright and dense, 6 tall and 4 wide (10 years plus 10). Young plants grow quickly but slow after a few years. Prefers well-drained soil but tolerant of clay; sun to dappled shade; needs occasional irrigation. This conifer adds a formal, elegant note to the landscape and performs swell as containerized specimen.
