Hi everyone does anyone know if the shrub Cryptomeria grows ok in
ordinary soil or does it need acidic soil. I think its a lovely
shrub..thanx in anticipation ..Woad

I would not call it a shrub. Depending on the cultivar it can grow to very
large proportions. AFAIK it does not need acid soil but prefers moist
locations.
I notice that a few on line retailers are suddenly pushing this as a *new*
and unusual tree. Sounds interesting
