Cryptomeria Spiralis
Cryptomeria japonica 'Spiralis'
Cryptomeria Spiralis Shrubs (Japonica) are eye-catching evergreen shrubs with bright green foliage. With a common name of "Granny's Ringlets," the Cryptomeria Spiralis has needles that twist spirally around branches. A semi-dwarf at 6 to 8 feet in 10 years, Cryptomeria starts moulding, later developing an upright leader as it matures. However, it can be pruned to keep its rounded form, and reaches 20 to 30 feet in 25 years. A handsome conifer year-round, Spiralis is especially attractive in winter.
