More about this plant
Globosa Nana is a slow growing, dense, naturally rounded dwarf form of Japanese cedar reaching only 2 to 4 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. Its fine textured, soft bluish green needles turn rusty red through the winter months, and the dark brown to reddish bark exfoliates. It takes full sun or partial shade in clay, loam or sand with good drainage, tolerates a wide pH range, and NCSU records no significant problems. Low maintenance and resistant to deer, disease, drought, dry soil, heat, insect pests and salt, it suits containers, patios, walkways, rock and winter gardens, foundation plantings and mass plantings.
