Cryptomeria japonica 'Globosa Nana'

Bloom predicted size: 2-3 ft. tall x 3-4 ft.
wide in 10 years

Elegant is the word that comes to mind for this conifer with it's
tightly rope-like branches of small green leaves. Birds seem to love the
dense growth, as they frequently nest inside. It sits in full sun,
near pavement, in improved soil. |
Cryptomeria japonica 'Tenzan Yatsabusa'

Predicted 12" x 12" was quickly reached in the garden. Although moved
to a new location, it is still thriving after many years. It sits on high
ground, in considerable shade during the summer, frequently overgrown by asclepias. |
