Cryptomeria japonica 'Sekkan-Sugi'
Japanese cedar 'Sekkan-Sugi'
'Sekkan-Sugi' produces soft creamy, yellow foliage in spring, darkening to green in summer and then adopting bronze and purple shades in the cold winter months. Brown cones appear on the ends of the branches in autumn. This tree often has an odd shape when young but quickly develops into a graceful neat shape, and provides a magnificent pyramid shape.
