Japanese Cedar - Cryptomeria

Japanese Cedar is a graceful evergreen conifer valued for its soft, feathery foliage, elegant shape, and year-round interest. With a naturally conical or columnar form, it brings a stately, architectural presence to the landscape. The bright green foliage takes on bronze or purplish tones in winter, adding seasonal charm. 

This is ideal as a privacy screen, specimen tree, or windbreak and performs best in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil. It's relatively low-maintenance and tolerant of humidity, heat, and a variety of soils once established.
