Cryptomeria japonica ‘Golden Promise’ is a slow growing ball shaped conifer with golden yellow new growth in spring/summer, pale green in winter, slightly bronzed in very cold conditions. Height 30cm (1ft) approx. in 10 years.Requires a fertile soil and an open position to produce the best golden summer colour.

Conifers can deliver any sized garden with structure, shape and colour to create all year-round interest. The plants in this group are long lived and available in many shapes, colours and forms and are easy to maintain.

Dwarf and slow-growing varieties are ideal for the smaller garden and are invaluable in a rock garden setting to create shape and structure amongst dwarf shrubs, alpines, heathers and hardy cyclamen. With proper care, they can make good subjects for containers.

Taller growing varieties need plenty of space to develop and are better suited to larger gardens. We state height after 10 years but bear in mind that conifers continue to grow and will generally double in height in another 10 years.

Planting: Conifers prefer an open, sunny spot and a moist but well-drained soil. Add any humus material such as garden compost or spent compost. Watering after planting is essential, especially in spring and summer, and regularly thereafter if dry weather persists. Inadequate watering is the main cause of failure when establishing conifers.

Aftercare: One or two feeds with a slow release fertiliser each year such as bonemeal will maintain growth.

  • Nigel H Verified Buyer
    I have always found Ashwood’s service to be excellent and reliable over the years I have bought plants from them. Due to one of my heathers dying from a lack of water this summer thanks to an unnoticed blocked irrigation line, I needed a large replacement to fill the gap. These were currently out of stock so I asked to be notified when back in and on receiving this, ordered two plants which were delivered the following week. They were well packed, arrived in excellent condition with plenty of flower buds and one is fitting in nicely with the original plants. Highly recommended nursery.

  • Peter S Verified Buyer
    Bought a Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Fernspray Gold'. Excellent plant. Well packaged and delivered. No issues. So pleased I bought a second one.
  • Alan R Verified Buyer
    I ordered 2 climbers and shrub mail order. They came with a week and I was kept infomed by email. The care in packaging was outstanding in stiff cardboard box with a firm carboard tray and well wrapped and supported plants. All plants were in good condition (especially considering the drought) - the only damage was done by me in unravelling the stems of one of the climbers. Fully recommend and will do again.
  • Jayne R Verified Buyer

    Three plants arrived swiftly and in very good health - two escallonias and a ceratostigma. A very good size too, clearly well looked after. Great selection of plants elsewhere in the online catalogue too
