Cryptomeria japonica Nana

Cryptomeria japonica ‘Nana’ is a long-established dwarf Japanese cedar valued for its dense, compact habit and refined evergreen texture. Rather than forming a typical pyramidal cedar shape, it develops slowly into a low, rounded to irregular mound with closely layered foliage. This cultivar performs best in full sun to partial shade with evenly moist, well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, it remains small for many years and has been a foundational plant in dwarf conifer collections for decades.
