The wonderful branches of Cryptomeria japonica var. sinensis (Chinese cryptomeria) were worn to a smooth finish by the many children who enjoy sitting on them. This variety is native to China where it is used for forestry. The tree grows on deep, well-drained soils subject to warm, moist conditions. This specimen was growing at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Wisley, Surrey.
