Description
Cryptomeria Radicans Are a Fast Growing Evergreen Popular for Privacy
Cryptomeria Japonica Radicans, also known as Japanese Cedars, is a fast-growing evergreen tree commonly used for privacy. The soft foliage is dark green. Cryptomeria Radicans are pretty easy to grow. They adapt well to many soil types, even hard-packed clay.
Cryptomeria Radicans have few problems. Although they tolerate many soil types, wet soil could create a fungus that turns the foliage closest to the trunk brown and eventually dies.
These trees are a popular alternative to the Green Giant Thuja for homeowners because they don’t take up as much space.
