Black Dragon Japanese Cedar — Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon'

Black Dragon Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon') is a striking slow-growing evergreen conifer that makes a bold, dramatic statement in any landscape. Its dense, soft needles emerge a fresh light green in spring and deepen to a rich, near-black green by summer — a color unlike any other conifer. With its compact, irregular pyramidal form, Black Dragon is ideal where a large conifer won't fit, offering year-round structure and deep color in borders, containers, and woodland gardens. Thrives in full to part sun with slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil.
