Cryptomeria ‘Little Champion’

Strange whip-cord foliage on this slow growing and evergreen dwarf conifer. Over 20 years it will naturally form a dense 1m x 1m dome shaped blob.

A hardy tree. Happy in any deep, moist but well drained soil in any position that is sheltered from the north.

N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
