Its layered branches support blue-green leaves that transition in color throughout the year, showcasing purples accented with reds and oranges during the autumn months. This variety reaches a height of up to 4 meters and has shallow, weak roots, necessitating a protected planting site.

Cryptomeria are substantial evergreen trees characterized by their reddish-brown bark and thick foliage made up of short, awl-shaped leaves that spiral around the branchlets. The cones produced by these trees are round in shape.
