The Japanese Red Cedar ‘Sekkan-sugi’ Cryptomeria japonica is a beautiful evergreen that adds oriental charm to gardens. This particular variety stands out for its brilliant golden-yellow needles, making it perfect for gardeners who want constant colour and form in their outdoor areas.
This tree grows steadily, putting on roughly 20-30cm each year. It will eventually reach 8–10 metres tall with a neat, narrow pyramid shape that works well in medium gardens or as a feature tree in tighter spots.
What makes ‘Sekkan-sugi’ special is its foliage. The needles start as bright golden-yellow in spring, creating lovely contrast with surrounding green plants. This vibrant colour stays all year, deepening slightly in winter months, so your garden always has something interesting to look at. The soft, feathery texture makes it even more appealing.
This tree is tougher than it looks. It suits our climate well and grows happily in full sun or partial shade. Whilst it likes moist, well-draining soil, it adapts to different soil conditions. It also copes with urban environments, so it works in town gardens too.
Many gardeners choose this tree for its unusual colour and shape. It makes a brilliant focal point on its own, where the golden foliage really catches the eye. Plant several together for an attractive screen or windbreak. It fits well in both contemporary and traditional garden styles, bringing exotic appeal throughout the year.
Bird lovers will appreciate that Japanese Red Cedars offer excellent shelter, particularly during winter. The thick foliage gives birds protection from bad weather and predators.
If you want a low-maintenance, striking evergreen that provides year-round interest, Japanese Red Cedar ‘Sekkan-sugi’ fits the bill perfectly. Its gorgeous golden needles and graceful shape bring something special to any garden, creating a standout feature that looks good in every season.
Japanese Red Cedar ‘Sekkan-sugi’ is relatively easy to care for, which is good news for UK gardeners. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, but it’s adaptable to various soil types. When you first plant it, water regularly for the first growing season to help it establish. After that, it appreciates consistent moisture but can tolerate short periods of drought. Feed it with a slow-release, balanced fertiliser in spring. Pruning isn’t usually necessary unless you want to maintain a specific shape or size. If you need to prune, do it in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
