Black Dragon Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon')

Black Dragon Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Black Dragon') is a striking dwarf conifer prized for its deep green to near-black foliage and compact, upright habit. This slow-growing evergreen adds bold contrast, refined texture, and architectural structure to gardens and landscapes, particularly in small spaces or as a container specimen.

Distinctive Features

'Black Dragon' features dense, irregular branching and short, dark green needles that take on an almost black appearance in winter. Its dramatic coloration and sculptural form make it a standout year-round. With a mature height of 6 to 10 feet and a narrow spread, it remains compact and manageable, even in tight planting areas.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils
  • Water: Moderate; provide consistent moisture during establishment
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 5 to 9

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Dramatic dark foliage and upright habit demand attention
  • Rock Gardens: Compact form and unique color pair well with stonework
  • Foundation Planting: Adds vertical interest without overwhelming space
  • Container Gardening: Thrives in large planters with proper drainage
  • Japanese-Inspired Landscapes: Complements traditional Zen garden designs

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during the first growing season
  • Pruning: Minimal; shape lightly to maintain form if desired
  • Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release evergreen fertilizer in spring
  • Mulching: Use mulch to regulate soil temperature and conserve moisture
  • Protection: Shelter from drying winter winds in colder climates

Why Choose Black Dragon Japanese Cedar?

  • Uncommon Foliage Color: Rich, near-black needles add unique depth to any planting
  • Compact Growth: Naturally dwarf form fits in smaller landscapes
  • Architectural Presence: Bold form and color create a strong visual anchor
  • Year-Round Beauty: Evergreen interest through all seasons
  • Focal Point: A dramatic addition that stands apart in any design

Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves, Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves
These are a absolutely excellent pair of gloves and I am very impressed with them. They are a great price for the quantity and quality of the gloves. I have used exfoliating gloves before but they were extremely cheap and of poor quality coming from China and I was never very impressed. These gloves are of another caliber entirely. They feel nice to the touch, aren't scratchy or irritating to be worn on your hand while your exfoliating with them. Some other gloves or exfoliating stones are abrasive and when you are done they leave your skin raw and irritated but these ones did not do that, they gently rubbed dead skin off and I could actually see it coming off in tiny little peices and when I was done my skin was so soft and clean afterwards and I have never had any exfoliating product do that before. I bought some sun laboratiories exfoliating body gel once before and I used it with these gloves and it worked fantastically as well.

I am in love with this mitt
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove, Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
I am in love with this mitt!!! I am a long time user of the sun laboratories sunnless tanning lotion line of products and I use them all the time to give myself a wonderful golden bronze looking tan and generally it comes off easily with soap and water but sometimes it doesn't come off as well and I still look a different color than what I actually am. So I came across this mitt when I was looking online to buy more of the sunnless tanning lotion that I always use and it was reccomended that I try this out. I bought it thinking that this could be what I need to help my skin look better and I was not disappointed when I used this. It gently rubbed all the sunnless tanner lotion off and my skin looked back to normal, there was a major difference in my skin tone from before and after I used it. This mitt also works if you use the sunnless tanning lotion repeatedly for several days or weeks in a row and don't have time to properly exfoliate to get it all off in between each time that you use the sunnless tanning lotion. It easily rubbs off all the built up layers than can get gross and make your skin look off.

Works great!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
This mit works great! I used a tanning lotion and as it started to rub off I needed something to help make my skin even again. The shower water was brown as the water rinsed my skin and the mit. So I know it was working! It is a little rough on your skin to hell scratch it off but overall I recommend.

Got me out of a MESS!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
This thing is LEGIT. I gave myself a less-than-stellar at-home tan and fell asleep while it was developing- woke up 7 hours later to a HOT MESS. It was horrible. (I also tried a new self-tan company and the product did not work my skin tone AT a ALL- lesson learned!) After looking at different options, i saw this mitt and figured “what do I have to lose”... the mitt itself feels like sandpaper. I got it wet and applied a body scrub with it and scrubbed- HARD. It hurt like a mother but I could see the tan coming off of my skin. Dont think it’s going to magically take off your tan... you need to REALLY get in there. I now use this mitt 2x a week for normal exfoliating and it’s amazing... don’t think you only need to use it for a shotty fake tan. DEFINITELY worth your money.
