Cryptomeria Trees

Planting and Growing Cryptomeria Trees

Merging dense green foliage with a clean, tidy silhouette, Cryptomeria Trees are ideal for a number of uses, from screening to windbreaks and beyond. Though specific directions vary depending on the Cryptomeria Trees you purchase, knowing your growing zone is an important first step.

Growing Zones for Cryptomeria Trees

Once you’ve determined your growing zone, keep sunlight, and watering needs in mind. Usually, Cryptomeria Trees like full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) and well-drained soil. Other than that, fertilizing is unnecessary, and pruning isn't required unless you want to shape your tree.

We generally recommend planting Cryptomeria Trees in early spring or fall, before or after the threat of frost.
