Cryptomeria japonica 'Vilmorin Gold' is a dwarf, slow-growing evergreen conifer valued for its compact shape and dramatic seasonal colour change. During the growing season, the fine-textured foliage remains green, before transforming into rich orange-red to bronze-red tones in winter. Its neat, rounded habit requires little maintenance, making it an excellent choice for containers, rock gardens, and Japanese-inspired planting. Hardy and reliable, it provides colour and structure throughout the year, particularly in winter.
