Radicans Japanese Cedar
Cryptomeria japonica 'Radicans'
Radicans Japanese Cedar is a graceful, fast-growing evergreen conifer with a columnar to pyramidal growth habit. It has dense, blue green, feathery foliage that retains its color in winter with less bronzing than other Japanese cedars. It is less prone to tip blight and leaf spot. Its narrow, pyramidal shape and dense texture make it a popular choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, or specimen plantings.

Welcome to The Plant Firm
The Plant Firm was created during the lockdown of 2020 as a fun project to give me something to do. It quickly became a much larger endeavor and one that I knew needed more attention to be done right. We started The Plant Firm because great plants shouldn't cost a fortune or require a trip across town. Every plant we carry is hand-selected for quality and delivered right to your door. Locally rooted in Raleigh, NC.
