Species native to Japan and southern China

Comments:
An evergreen shrub discovered growing as a vigorous mutation. The needle-like leaves are dark green. It is said to be semi-dwarf indicating it has potential of growing up to 10' in our area but probably not achieving this for many years, if ever. The foliage darkens to bronze-purple in winter. Use in the shrub border, in a screen or with other conifers for a great winter effect.
