The Black Dragon Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon') is a striking conifer that adds a touch of drama and elegance to any garden or landscape. Known for its unique, dark green to nearly black foliage, this slow-growing evergreen features dense, upright branches that form a pyramidal shape over time. The rich, dark color of its needles deepens as the plant matures, making it a standout specimen, especially in contrast with lighter-colored plants.

Whether used as a specimen plant or grouped for a more dramatic effect, the Black Dragon Japanese Cedar is sure to make a lasting impression in your landscape.
