Product Details

Description

Black Dragon Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon') is a striking, dark-foliaged conifer known for its compact, pyramidal form and year-round color interest. New growth emerges light green in spring, maturing to rich, dark green by summer and deepening to nearly black-green in winter.

This slow-growing evergreen is a standout in any landscape, ideal for small gardens, entryways, foundation plantings, and Asian-inspired designs. Its dense, upright structure and unique foliage color provide dramatic contrast and texture in all seasons.

  • Full Sun
  • Mature Height: 7 to 10 Feet
  • Mature Spread: 3 to 4 Feet
  • Zone: 5 - 9
  • Great as a specimen or accent plant in landscapes

Plant Care Instructions and Attributes

  • Thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil.
  • Low maintenance once established and slow-growing.
  • Water regularly during the first year to establish deep roots.
  • Mulch to retain moisture and protect shallow roots.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of protective packaging to avoid shifting during transit. Dormant plants may look dry or leafless in colder months—this is completely normal and they will revive in spring.

We cannot ship certain plants or sizes to California due to agricultural regulations.
