Black Dragon Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon')

Black Dragon Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon') is a striking dwarf conifer prized for its deep green to near-black foliage and compact, upright habit. This slow-growing evergreen adds bold contrast, refined texture, and architectural structure to gardens and landscapes, particularly in small spaces or as a container specimen.

Distinctive Features

'Black Dragon' features dense, irregular branching and short, dark green needles that take on an almost black appearance in winter. Its dramatic coloration and sculptural form make it a standout year-round. With a mature height of 6 to 10 feet and a narrow spread, it remains compact and manageable, even in tight planting areas.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils
  • Water: Moderate; provide consistent moisture during establishment
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 to 9

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Dramatic dark foliage and upright habit demand attention
  • Rock Gardens: Compact form and unique color pair well with stonework
  • Foundation Planting: Adds vertical interest without overwhelming space
  • Container Gardening: Thrives in large planters with proper drainage
  • Japanese-Inspired Landscapes: Complements traditional Zen garden designs

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during the first growing season
  • Pruning: Minimal; shape lightly to maintain form if desired
  • Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release evergreen fertilizer in spring
  • Mulching: Use mulch to regulate soil temperature and conserve moisture
  • Protection: Shelter from drying winter winds in colder climates

Why Choose Black Dragon Japanese Cedar?

  • Uncommon Foliage Color: Rich, near-black needles add unique depth to any planting
  • Compact Growth: Naturally dwarf form fits in smaller landscapes
  • Architectural Presence: Bold form and color create a strong visual anchor
  • Year-Round Beauty: Evergreen interest through all seasons
  • Focal Point: A dramatic addition that stands apart in any design

Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon' is a distinctive and dependable evergreen that provides bold contrast, structure, and texture - an ideal focal point or accent in gardens both modern and traditional.

Very nice shirts
Size: Large, Color: White
These are a heavier fabric than I was expecting but that’s fine since it’s winter. They barely shrink being washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer. I was actually hoping that they would shrink a little more after losing 40 pounds. But they shrunk just a little and they fit just fine. Also, if you take them out of the dryer immediately there are very few wrinkles.

Dress shirt
Size: XX-Large Big Tall, Color: Powder Blue
The material is a nice quality and the color is very close to the picture but I think it’s a bit darker in person. It definitely doesn’t fit like a “tall” should though but I think if we would have sized up it would have been to big. Overall it was an ok purchase for what we needed it for but it is a bit short.

Fit check = great
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
Happy to finally find a great shirt fit for both business and casual looks. This shirt line is made in Sri Lanka (not Bangladesh). It has a great fit around the shoulders and chest for a 40 year old American male. It fits true to form and was recommended to me directly by Grok AI based on my exact waist, chest and neck measurements. It doesn't pull tight across the chest, and fits really nice with a sport coat. It's comfortable and breathable, the fabric is thick and high quality. You can wear this tucked or untucked depending on the attire you need. I bought 2 and will definitely buy the rest of the color line up. I'd love to see more colors and patterns available in this fit.

Nice shirt, great price.
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: White, Size: Medium
Worn it twice and I find it very comfortable. I wear it outside and casually to protect my arms and neck from the sun and find it more comfortable than a long sleeve t-shirt. The price is comparable. If I was to wear it to the office it would have to be ironed. I bought one shirt to try it and I will be buying more.
