Japanese cedars
The Japanese cedars are but one species which forms a very tall pyramidshaped timber tree — Cryptomeria japonica. From this one species, however, there have been obtained a number of outstanding forms of such variable conformity as to cause initial doubt of parentage. Many of these forms are extremely
slow growing — often considerably less than four feet in 20 years, thus making them ideal garden subjects, particularly for the rock garden and confined areas. Cryptomeria japonica vitaioriniana is one such gem. It forms a very tight, neat ball of foliage which changes from green to rust colour over winter.
