| EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION
Cryptomeria japonica 'Elegans'
Also called Plume Japanese Cedar, this plant has dense, soft, featherlike foliage - especially on the new growth. It is a nice bluish-green which turns to mahogany plum in the winter. Can be used as a screen when planted closely together ( 4-6 ft ). Easy to grow - average moisture, and does best in slightly acidic soil. Very nice Cryptomeria variety that works well in spots where a medium sized tree specimen is needed, and a soft, delicate, ornamental look is desired.
