Spring Cream Japanese Gardens

Spring Cream Japanese GardensThis variegated form of Dawn Redwood has cream color foliage over green. The plant is a deciduous conifer, so loses its leaves in winter, but before it does, it turns a nice yellow. This plant will grow about a foot a year and in 10 years will be 10ft tall and 4ft wide. Lovely!

The compact size makes it well suited for foundation plantings
