Add a dense lower tier. Dwarf Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica 'Elegans Nana') always reminds me of a fat little dumpling. It has a rather loose mounding shape and a soft, feathery texture. "I love evergreens that change in some way during the year; this one does that nicely, with blue-green summer foliage that takes on a purple cast during winter. Being evergreen, this conifer provides year-round interest. USDA zones: 5 to 8 Water requirement: Moderate Light requirement: Full sun or partial shade (so it's ideal for planting under a deciduous tree) Mature size: 7 feet tall and up to 7 feet wide When to plant: Spring or fall"
