| EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION
Cryptomeria japonica 'Knaptonensis'
A beautiful semi dwarf cryptomeria with a very tight, compact growth habit. Takes on a slightly rounded, bun shape with maturity. Foliage is bright lime green with brilliant white tips - truly striking. This variety does display some bronzing during cold weather. Makes a perfect choice for an unusual planting in semi-shaded locations, and does best when given a little protection from hot, afternoon sun.
