Cryptomeria japonica 'Yoshino' is a fast-growing evergreen conifer known for its symmetrical, pyramidal habit and elegant, tiered branching. Reaching heights of 30 to 40 feet, it features dense, fragrant needles that transition from lime-green in spring to a deep blue-green in summer, resisting the heavy winter bronzing typical of the species. Ideal as a specimen or privacy screen, it thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, acidic, well-drained soils while remaining remarkably tolerant of urban conditions.
