BLACK DRAGON JAPANESE CEDAR

Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon' is commonly referred to as Black Dragon Japanese Cedar. It is a dramatic, broadly upright evergreen selection that is fast-growing when young, then slows its growth near 4-6' tall. It features swirling branches of light green new growth that deepens to very dark green - almost black in winter.

Black Dragon Japanese Cedar thrives in partial sun in organically rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils. Unlike other cultivars, this selection will not turn brown in winter, but instead retain its deep greenish-black color through the winter months. It is a very popular dwarf conifer and is especially useful in Asian or formal English themed gardens.
