Yoshino Japanese Cedar

The Yoshino Japanese Cedar, Cryptomeria japonica 'Yoshino' is an elegant evergreen tree prized for its graceful, narrow pyramid shape and soft, feathery green foliage. It typically grows 15-25 feet tall and 8-12 feet wide, making it ideal for medium to large landscapes. The tree has a distinctive, reddish-brown bark that peels off in strips, adding visual interest year-round. Thriving in USDA zones 6-9, it prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade. Known for its low-maintenance nature, the Yoshino is an excellent choice for adding year-round structure and texture to gardens, screens, or as a specimen tree. Its dense foliage also provides privacy and wind protection.
