Cryptomeria Spiralis

Cryptomeria Spiralis Shrubs (japonica) have bright green foliage, somewhat like the skin of a Granny Smith Apple. This cultivar of the Japanese cedar is slow-growing and semi-dwarf, reaching 6 to 8 feet in 10 years. The habit is generally mounding when in its younger years, but can be variable and eventually is more upright as it matures.
