Cryptomeria japonica 'Elegans' Tree
Cryptomeria japonica 'Elegans' is a delightful evergreen conifer that transforms colour throughout the seasons. Known as the Japanese Red Cedar, it boasts blue/green foliage in the spring that turns fresh green throughout the summer before burgundy-purple and rusty-red in the autumn and winter.
The foliage of Cryptomeria 'Elegans is surprisingly soft and tactile, whilst the horizontal branches have pendulous tips making a fabulous shape. 'Elegans' will reach 4-5 metres height in 20 years with a spread of 1.5 metres and will thrive if planted in moist but well drained soil in sun or partial shade.
The Japanese Red Cedar is a great choice for adding interest to gardens all year round with its attractive form. For a smaller bush form, see Cryptomeria japonica 'Elegans Compacta'.
