Cryptomeria Radicans 5 Gallon Container

Cryptomeria Radicans – 5 Gallon Container
Fast-Growing, Soft-Textured Evergreen for Privacy and Screening

The Cryptomeria Radicans, also known as Japanese Cedar, is a fast-growing, columnar evergreen prized for its soft, feathery texture, rich green foliage, and natural resistance to disease and insects. Unlike Leyland Cypress or Thuja, Radicans holds its color beautifully through the winter and forms a dense, pyramidal shape that’s ideal for privacy screens, windbreaks, or standalone specimen trees.

This variety grows well in the humid South and performs best in well-drained soil and full sun. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and much more reliable long-term than other fast-growing conifers.
