Cryptomeria japonica
Japanese Cryptomeria
Description
This Cryptomeria will, in cultivation, become an evergreen that is conical or pyramidal in shape with a straight, central leader. It typically has a narrow crown of pyramidal branches and foliage that is aromatic, dense, and awl-shaped. The reddish, shredding bark of this, Japan's national tree, is particularly attractive, and its foliage may change to a brown-purplish tone during the cold weather. It combines well with other broadleaf evergreen shrubs.

An easy water-wise improvement in lawn areas is to change high output spray sprinkler nozzles to low-flow rotators.
You'll have less runoff and be less likely to apply more water than is needed.
