Description

Black Dragon Japanese Cedar is a slow-growing evergreen with a striking pyramidal form, making it a perfect accent tree for Massachusetts landscapes. Its deep green, scale-like foliage emerges as a lighter green in spring and remains vibrant throughout the winter. The peeling antique red bark adds texture and contrast, enhancing its distinctive Asian-inspired appearance.

This dwarf conifer is ideal for small gardens, rock gardens, or as a focal point in larger landscapes. Black Dragon Japanese Cedar thrives in well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering until established. Its refined foliage and unique shape make it a standout choice for adding year-round interest.
