Cryptomeria Japonica Elegans (Japanese Cedar)

Introduced by Thomas Lobb from Japan in 1854, this beautiful bushy conifer eventually makes a small tree at maturity.

Its wonderful texture and feathery appearance makes you want to touch it!

Evergreen feathery foliage turns bronze in winter and at this point many despair and make a phone call to us but this is all part of the annual show it performs.

It tends to grow as wide as it does high but reacts well to pruning if necessary.

It thrives in most soils though does not like water logged ground.

It is such an unusual foliage plant that it provides wonderful contrast within a garden and many gardeners struggle to indentify it quite simply as it looks like nothing else!

Mature height: 3-7m
