If you’re looking for a unique statement plant, take a look at the ‘Black Dragon’ Cryptomeria.

This evergreen starts out in spring with new light green growth that turns very dark – almost black – in summer.

It’s narrower than a lot of evergreens and often a bit irregular in shape which only adds to its appeal

It’s a slow grower that matures around 6-7 feet in height but over time might get as tall as 10 feet and up to 4 feet wide.

It likes full sun but otherwise isn’t fussy about its environment.

It is relatively deer-resistant and its tiny cones don’t make a mess.

This is definitely an attention-getter.
