Cryptomeria japonica ‘Compressa’

Description

Cryptomeria japonica ‘Compressa’

Cryptomeria japonica ‘Compressa’ is a compact, slow-growing dwarf form of the Japanese cedar, prized for its neat, architectural shape and fine texture. Forming a dense, rounded mound of tightly packed, rich green needles, it develops warm bronze tones in winter, adding seasonal interest. Typically reaching only 30-60cm in height, this miniature conifer is ideal for rock gardens, troughs, containers, or small spaces where structure and year-round colour are desired. Hardy and low-maintenance, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. ‘Compressa’ offers timeless elegance, providing evergreen texture and form to both modern and traditional planting schemes.
