Cryptomeria japonica 'Green Pearl'

Cryptomeria japonica 'Green Pearl'

A charming dwarf Japanese cedar that brings year-round architectural interest to the garden with its distinctive form and texture. Cryptomeria japonica 'Green Pearl' is a slow-growing conifer, reaching a compact height of approximately 45 cm over ten years, with a naturally rounded, dense habit. The needles are a bright, fresh green, arranged spirally around the branches, creating an almost pearl-like appearance that inspired its cultivar name.

Throughout the seasons, this evergreen maintains its appealing rounded shape without the need for regular pruning. In winter, the foliage may take on subtle bronze tints in cold weather, adding further interest to its appearance. The tight, compact growth forms an almost perfect sphere as the plant matures.

'Green Pearl' thrives in full sun to partial shade and appreciates well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Its diminutive size makes it perfect for rock gardens, container plantings, or as a distinctive specimen in smaller gardens where it can be admired as a living sculpture.
