I’d been eyeing this cryptomeria for a while and finally bought this 3-gallon size on a trip to Flower World. Initially I’d planned to site it in the driveway circle but decided to place it in the front garden lower bed where we had some overly-tall pine trees removed a few years ago (they were about 40 feet and still growing, and I felt they were a danger to our roof and foundation, being situated in the 15-foot gap between our house and garage). Sources say that Black Dragon should top out at 10 – 12 feet at most, continuing to grow in density rather than height at that point, which should be the perfect size for this spot.
