Description
An improved selection that is faster growing, resistant to tip blight, and holds its color well throughout the winter with less bronzing than other cultivars, ‘Radicans’ Cryptomeria, commonly called Japanese Cedar, is a tall growing coniferous evergreen tree with dense, soft and attractive blue-green feathery foliage and pyramidal growth habit to 40 feet tall and 15 feet wide. Its stature makes it a fine selection for use in privacy screen plantings or to frame the corners of tall homes and other buildings. Very easy to grow and virtually no maintenance!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 40 feet tall and about 15 feet wide, Radicans Cryptomeria is most often used in single or staggered rows for screen plantings, however, it also makes a nice specimen tree in larger landscapes and a corner plant to frame in tall homes and other buildings. It grows well in large containers when young but eventually will need to be transplanted to the landscape. A fine addition to Asian-themed and conifer gardens.
Spacing: 12-15′ for solid screens; 22′ + for space between trees

Growing Preferences
Radicans Cryptomeria is very easy to grow and virtually no maintenance. It is adaptable to many soil types preferring a fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. As with many other ornamental trees it does not like a constantly soggy or wet soil, nor an always dry one, though trees have good drought tolerance when well established. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for best performance. Feed in spring with a well-balanced shrub and tree food that contains iron. No pruning will be necessary.

The plants were well-rooted and in the expected size and condition. But – UPS had evidently dropped the box on one end, so one of the pots was loose and had lost some soil. I repotted and watered it, and two days later planted out in its permanent position. It appears in good condition, and seems not to have been harmed by the carrier’s mistake. I am well-satisfied with the care Wilson Bros. took in rowing and packing it. There root systems on both plants were very good. If it hadn’t been dropped, my rating would have been 5-stars.————————————————–So sorry about the shipping problem, if we could deliver the plants ourselves…we would. Thanks for the kind words and wonderful review! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
