Overview
Cryptomeria japonica 'Globosa Nana' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer valued for its naturally rounded habit and soft, feathery foliage. Fresh green growth provides year-round interest, often developing attractive bronze or purplish tones during colder winter weather before returning to green in spring.
Its dense, tidy form makes it an excellent architectural feature without the need for regular clipping. Equally at home in borders, gravel gardens or decorative containers, it provides lasting structure and texture throughout the seasons.

Growing Guide
Position
Plant in full sun or partial shade. It performs best in a sheltered position where the foliage is protected from strong, drying winds.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a healthy root system. Once established, water during prolonged dry spells, particularly if grown in a container.
Soil
Grow in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Avoid sites that remain waterlogged during winter, while ensuring the soil does not dry out completely in summer.
Hardiness and Winter Care
This evergreen conifer is hardy throughout Ireland. Temporary bronze winter colouring is a normal seasonal response to colder weather and is not a sign of poor health. Container-grown specimens benefit from extra attention to watering during dry periods.
Routine Care
Very little pruning is normally required. Remove only dead, damaged or misplaced shoots in late winter or early spring to maintain its naturally compact shape.
Perfect For
- Small and medium-sized gardens.
- Rockeries and gravel gardens.
- Feature planting in mixed borders.
- Decorative patio containers.
- Japanese-inspired and architectural planting schemes.
Good to Know
