Plant in full sun to partial shade. (Provide light afternoon shade in hotter climates to prevent needle scorch).
Prefers rich, organically fertile, and slightly acidic (pH 5.0 - 6.0). Requires consistently moist, well-draining soil. It is intolerant of heavy, soggy clay or prolonged drought.
Grows extremely slow (about 6 to 12 inches per year).
Has a mature height of 25 to 40 feet (up to 70 feet in its native habitat after many decades) and a spread of 15 to 20 feet.
Most frequently planted as a focal point or conversation piece in lawns, Asian-themed gardens, or rock gardens. In Japan, the water-resistant wood is traditionally used for boat and ship construction, while the bark is used for caulking.
