Cryptomeria japonica Elegans Aurea

Cryptomeria japonica Elegans Aurea Details

Cryptomeria japonica Elegans Aurea is a large, evergreen tree reaching about 10 m tall and 5 m wide. This variety has an upright growth habit with a loose, pyramidal shape and carries feathery, golden foliage. As cooler weather sets in the foliage develops bronze overtones. The texture and colour of this tree is very distinct and attractive. It tolerates a wide range of conditions but does best when grown in full sun on a well-drained site and is tolerant of frost, cold environments, exposed conditions (including coastal), and dry periods. Cryptomeria japonica Elegans Aurea is commonly used as a specimen tree, grown for shelter, or added into mixed plantings in a large garden.
