A staple in many small gardens, Cryptomeria japonica ‘Globosa Nana’ (Japanese Cedar) is a dwarf evergreen conifer of neat, dense, dome-shaped habit with pendulous branchlets covered with rich blue-green awl-shaped leaves. The leaves are tightly appressed to the shoots and turn yellowish green in the heat of the summer. They may also become bronze to rusty red in the winter. A slow grower, 3-4 in. per year (7-10 cm), this Dwarf Japanese Cedar makes an elegant specimen.
