Cryptomeria japonica 'Globosa Nana' is an evergreen dwarf conifer forming a dome of bright green foliage, which emerges yellow in spring and takes on attractive blue tones in winter. Spherical cones are borne in autumn. It’s a good alternative to box and makes a fine topiary plant but is equally attractive if left to its own devices.
Grow Cryptomeria japonica 'Globosa Nana' in a sheltered site in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Propagate by taking semi-hardwood cuttings in late-summer. Pruning is rarely required. Young plants may need protection in winter.
