Feature

Native to Japan this deciduous conifer tree has a straight trunk accented by nice soft needles. Grown for the weathered looking, rust brown bark that is reddish-brown, rugged and furrowed, showing nicely in the winter. Form varies from one tree to the next making it perfect for bonsai culture.
This versatile plant is perfect for small gardens as well as potted deck plantings and indoor specimen plants.
Zone 5+ as an outdoor standard - anywhere as a specimen or bonsai plant
Perfect for Bonsai culture. Hardy outdoors to zone 5. Foliage turns a brilliant yellow in the fall for a short time but long enough to make nice show. 1 1/2-inch-long upright cones are clustered along the branches, making a terrific display throughout the year. The tree makes a great all purpose tree.
Makes the perfect Bonsai project! New foliage emerges green and retains color as well as any other cultivar. Superb orange - red fall color. When growing as a standard it matures at a height of around 15 to 20 feet. The elegant, horizontal branching, makes this plant a superb choice. Thrives in partial shade and moist soil.
