Notes
'Golden Promise' Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Golden Promise') is a tree for specimen use, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a moderate rate in a conical shape. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. This evergreen is salt tolerant, so it can work near roads or coasts.
Pairs well with Sedge, Autumn fern, and September Charm anemone.
