A dwarf conifer, Cryptomeria japonica globosa nana grows naturally to a nice rounded dome shape. Lime green foliage that naturally curves. Also known as the Dwarf Japanese Cedar.

It is slow growing but will eventually reach a height or around 1m, over time sometimes more. Excellent as a feature in the rockery, in the garden border, and can also be planted in row as a low hedge. Can also be grown in a container as a feature. Mature specimens will be costly.

Cryptomeria globosa nana Care

A humus rich moist well drained soil is best, full sun to a little afternoon shade for best growing habit. Little to no pruning is required, fertilise Cryptomeria globosa nana with a general purpose fertiliser in spring, keep moist during dry summers.

  1. Prepare soil by digging in some well rotted compost and check pH.
  2. Dig a whole larger than the pot, this allows for good root development.
  3. Plant and back fill with good quality soil.
  4. Firm in and water in well with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  5. Use a general purpose slow release fertiliser in early spring.
  6. Mulch around plants to maintain a cool root run.
  7. Water well through the first summers.
