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

Class and elegance
Color: Gold
I absolutely love this watch! My grandson also loved mine so I bought him one for Christmas. This is the 4th Citizen watch I have purchased. 2 are ecodrive and 2 are battery powered. I have to say I do like the battery powered watches better for their weight, lots lighter on your wrist than the ecodrive I regularly used to wear. This watch has taken a beating, as it seems like I'm always hitting the face on something, and has performed beautifully. I figured that I would've replaced the crystal by now but I haven't had to. My grandson admired and wanted mine, (I can't part with it because it has special meaning) so I bought him the identical model. I have worn mine in water, extreme cold, and out to dinner. It looks and performs beautifully. This watch is classy, elegant and beautiful and it's not a giant timepiece although you may have to take it to your local jeweler for band sizing. There's videos on u tube but I don't recommend trying that for taking links out. I say beautiful because as a woman wearing this watch it's not overwhelming and screaming look at me I'm wearing a man's watch. However this watch is handsome looking on men, my husband and grandson lol. The band is smooth, doesn't kink or pinch my wrist and when fitted properly it doesn't end up face down or sliding over and staying over on the outside of my wrist. Only drawback for me is I'm not used to the day dial and sometimes when setting the time bc some months are shorter I tend to be a day ahead, easy fix. I've gotten lots of compliments on this watch and would definitely buy it again

5-Star Review: Sleek, Reliable, and Worth Every Penny!
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
I recently purchased this Citizen watch, and I'm thoroughly impressed! The design is sleek and modern, perfect for both casual and formal occasions. The Eco-Drive technology is a game-changer-no battery changes needed, just sunlight or indoor light to keep it running. The build quality feels premium, and the stainless steel band is comfortable yet durable. It keeps time accurately, and the dial is easy to read. For the price, this watch offers exceptional value and style. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, eco-friendly timepiece!
