Cryptomeria japonica Buckiscope

Cryptomeria japonica ‘Buckiscope’ is a compact dwarf Japanese cedar valued for its dense, rounded habit and finely textured green foliage. This slow-growing cultivar forms a tidy, mound-like shape that maintains its structure naturally without pruning. It performs best in full sun to partial shade with evenly moist, well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA Zones 4-8, it remains small over many years and is well suited for rock gardens, containers, and conifer collections.
