Cryptomeria japonica Globosa Nana

Common Name:
Dwarf Globe Japanese Cedar

Description:
Cryptomeria japonica 'Globosa Nana' is a compact, slow-growing conifer with a naturally rounded, dense growth habit. Its soft, feathery foliage emerges bright green in spring and deepens to a rich, darker green throughout the year, sometimes taking on bronze tones in winter. This evergreen shrub is an excellent choice for small gardens, rockeries, borders, and container planting. Thriving in well-drained, fertile soil, it prefers a position in full sun to part shade. 'Globosa Nana' is low-maintenance and highly adaptable, providing year-round texture and colour. Its compact form makes it ideal for Japanese-style gardens, topiary, or as an accent plant in mixed landscapes.
