Cryptomeria japonica 'Yoshino' is an upright, fast-growing evergreen tree also called Japanese cedar. While Japanese cedar can be large and somewhat sprawling, the 'Yoshino' cultivar has a compact, pyramidal growth habit that makes this tree an excellent choice for screening or bordering in large areas in the landscape or for use as a specimen tree. Typically growing to 50-60' tall and up to 30' wide, 'Yoshino' grows to a manageable size of only 30-40' tall with bright, fragrant, blue-green foliage that is additionally deer resistant.

Cryptomeria japonica 'Yoshino' prefers full sun, though it tolerates some light shade, and grows best in well-drained, acidic, organically rich soils with plenty of room to grow. In addition to a more manageable growth habit, 'Yoshino' also grows faster than the parent species, and tends to stay more evergreen through the cold, dark winter months.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
