Looking after Japanese Red Cedar ‘Spiralis’ is straightforward, which is good news for gardeners. Plant it in a spot that gets full sun or partial shade. It prefers moist, well-drained soil but is adaptable to various soil types. Water regularly when it’s first planted to help it settle in. Once established, it’s quite tolerant of dry spells but will appreciate occasional deep watering during prolonged dry periods. Feed it with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring. Pruning isn’t necessary to maintain its spiral shape, but you can remove any dead or damaged branches if needed. It’s generally pest and disease-free, but keep an eye out for any signs of stress. ‘Spiralis’ is hardy enough to cope with UK winters without extra protection, though young plants may benefit from shelter from strong winds.
