I’m trying to see what this is called and where would be best position to plant. I bought it from a small garden centre and at the time was to,d they are like hens teeth. I’m hoping once I plant it, it grows quicker.
What you appear to have there is a cultivar of Cryptomeria japonica known as 'SekkanSugi' . They are wrongly named 'Japanese Cedars' , even though there is no relationship whatsoever between the two genera . Probably closer to Cunninghamia lanceolata , a tree I have grown for years and needing similar conditions .
I believe it's a relatively recent introduction and is proving popular . I think also it is susceptible to moderate sun-scorch especially if kept too dry .
A good moist loam (they like a good drink) ; a bit like myself really( ) and maybe dappled shade would be optimum .
Given 'free root-run' you should find the growth rate improves .
Yes your spot in with the scorching as I’ve noticed that on the lower and outer areas. I would like to get it out of the stone pot it’s in and get it planted this week as I’m away back to work for a month the following week so the quicker it’s done the better.
Mm , depends on how often it needs it as I have a guy cut my grass every fortnight but my friend waters my indoor plants every 10 days or so. How often do you recommend?
