    This native of Japan and China has beautiful foliage and a dense pyramidal shape! Foliage is somewhat similar to a Thuja (Arbovitae) but larger. The scale-like leaves are bright or dark green with white markings underneath and these scales overlap to form flattened, rope-like shoots. Branches are arranged in flattened sprays. 3/4" cones. Bark is reddish brown and furrowed into thin strips. Site plant out of sweeping winds. Almost never available in the trade. A plant for a collector and yet not difficult. Winter color change varies with cloan. For most, there is no color change in winter.

    An impressive, slow growing pyramidal tree. This unique Japanese native resembles the common Thuja; however, it is distinguished by its broader, flatter, fan like branchlets. The soft foliage is arranged in haphazard whorls, displaying the glossy green surface and the distinct white underside markings simultaneously across the plant. The bark is thin and reddish-brown, flaking in papery layers. Providing adequate moisture and fertile soil will ensure a display of dense foliage that can highlight any area.
