Globosa Nana Dwarf Japanese Cedar

Globosa Nana Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica ‘Globosa Nana’) is a slow-growing evergreen conifer valued for its dense, soft-textured foliage and naturally rounded shape. Its rich green color gives foundation beds and mixed borders structure throughout the year, while cooler weather may bring subtle bronze or purple tones to the foliage.

This compact Japanese cedar is an excellent alternative to formal evergreen shrubs when you want a more interesting texture and relaxed, natural form. Use it as a specimen in smaller beds, in mixed conifer plantings, along borders, or near patios and entries.

Available in 3-gallon and 7-gallon containers. Choose the size that best fits your project and desired immediate impact. Plant size and fullness naturally vary by season and nursery availability.
