Cryptomeria japonica Nana Albo Spica

Cryptomeria japonica ‘Nana Albo Spica’ is a distinctive variegated form of dwarf Japanese cedar noted for its creamy white shoot tips that contrast beautifully with deep green foliage. The variegation appears most prominently on new growth, giving the plant a lively, almost frosted look during the growing season. It grows slowly into a compact, irregular mound and prefers full sun to partial shade with consistent moisture and good drainage. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, it is especially valued by collectors for its subtle color variation and restrained size.
