This very slow growing dwarf Japanese cedar has rounded, multi-branched shoots that are cord-like and filled with awl-shaped bright green needles. Masses of decorative buds form on lightly sheared tips to create a full, well-rounded treasure. Adds unique texture in the garden. Protect from cold and desiccating winds.
