We were drawn to this Japanese cedar tree which would create a marvelous focal point. Its botanical name is Cryptomeria Japonica "Sekkan-sugi.
It is easy to grow and does well in zones 4-24. It is a conifer and an evergreen. It likes full to partial sun! They are normally found in the green version, and this beauty is a specimen.
Wishing Everyone a wonderful Friday evening, and a great weekend.
That is a very pretty color and most unusual leaves. Would make a garden pop with that red color

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD I am always attracting something new and interesting, and then I go into research mode. Happy Sunday. A
Michael Jacobs it does not matter if you can pick it out and name it. Stuff like that fascinate me, and send me on research binge, which sometimes goes to every other place. A
Hannah Williams When we lived in Napa, there was in nursery in nearby Sonoma (30 minutes away) that specialized in Japanese maples. It was always an amazing adventure to go there. So many varieties, it used to blow us away. A

Dorie Dillard Austin TX every gardener/landscaper knows the value of a focal point. The same when you design a home...A
Kathy Streib That pop of color attracted me instantly. I could see it in a Japanese garden setting! A
Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS I did not think it was sick, perhaps the light was off. I touched it and loved the feel of its needle smooth and lovely. A
Nina Hollander I have been to nurseries that specialize in Japanese and other cedar trees. At one time when Ron was studying Bonsai, he considered working on a cedar. We wandered through one of our largest nurseries in the norther part of Los Angeles County, and came back empty handed. I do love the cedars. A
