Cryptomeria japonica 

'Rasen' 

Japanese Cedar 

Zones 5-9 

'Rasen’ is quite a unique Japanese selection of cedar. The foliage is twisted and spiraled like ‘Spiralis’, however the overall form is narrow and fastigiate with more open branching. ‘Rasen’ may reach 15 ft in height by 4 ft in width in 10 years. ‘Rasen’ is Japanese referring to a barber pole that swirls and is narrow. Sometimes this selection is labeled ‘Rasen Sugi’, but “Sugi” simply means Japanese cedar. 

 

Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
