Cryptomeria Yoshino is a majestic evergreen that brings elegance and structure to the landscape. Its soft, fine-textured foliage provides visual interest throughout the year, transitioning to a bronzish green hue in fall and winter. Small cones add a delightful touch, enhancing the tree’s overall beauty. The reddish-brown bark offers a striking contrast, creating a year-round visual appeal. Ideal for use as a specimen tree or privacy screen, this evergreen is a standout in any garden or landscape design.
Cryptomeria will grow well in either sun or shade and tolerate many different soil types! In colder growing zones, protect these evergreens from harsh winds, on well-drained, moist, acid soil. Rarely in need of fussing or pruning and just wants a little springtime fertilizer. Leave the branches all the way to the ground to keep the classic form and the maximum amount of privacy and screening! The only pruning to be done should be to remove winter dieback.
