Tenzan Dwarf Japanese Cedar

Tenzan Dwarf Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Tenzan') is the smallest cultivar of its species, forming a very dense rounded bun of tiny dark green shoots that stays near 1 foot tall and 1 to 2 feet wide in zones 5 through 8. Every other Japanese cedar in the catalog is a shrub or a tree. Tenzan is a miniature, and it holds its shape with no help at all. The shoots are so short and so tightly set that the surface of the plant feels solid, and the deep green holds through summer before taking on a bronze cast in cold weather. This is a trough and container plant first. It also works in a crevice garden, a small raised bed, or tucked at the base of a larger conifer where you want a finished edge. Light: full sun to partial sun Water: even moisture, containers dry quickly and need watching Soil: sharply drained and acidic Care: no pruning, shelter from winter wind to reduce bronzing Add Tenzan Dwarf Japanese Cedar to your cart.
