About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Japanese cedar, or sugi, has a deep connection with the forests, timber traditions and planted avenues of Japan. Cryptomeria japonica is not a true cedar of the genus Cedrus, despite its English name. Its close-set foliage and developing trunk give it a recognizable character among conifers.

Growing a sugi from seed offers a way to explore that living heritage through observation of new shoots and branching. A young tree may be part of a conifer collection or a training project, while a landscape specimen needs room for substantial growth. Seedlings will not reliably duplicate a named dwarf nursery form. Plan its permanent position around the species' needs and eventual size, rather than the compact appearance of a juvenile plant.
