Cryptomeria japonica 'Little Champion' is a charming dwarf conifer that provides year-round interest in any garden setting. Reaching an ultimate height of 3 to 5 feet, this slow-growing evergreen maintains a compact, globe-shaped form, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, rockeries, or as a focal point in mixed borders. Its soft, fine-textured foliage emerges a vibrant green in spring and summer, transitioning to an attractive bronze hue during the colder months, adding a touch of winter color.

Adapted to a variety of climatic conditions, 'Little Champion' prefers well-drained, moist soils and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Its resilience and modest size also make it ideal for urban gardens where space is limited. This variety is particularly valued for its low maintenance needs and resistance to pests and diseases, making it a hassle-free addition to both novice and experienced gardeners' landscapes.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
