A local nurseryman has recommended Cryptomeria japonica as a fast growing, deerproof evergreen screen for part shade. It seems perfect but I don't need or want anything 30' tall. Will it tolerate light pruning to keep it within bounds?

My experience with Cryptomeria is very limited, but I know it comes in varieties that have different growth rates (and ultimate sizes).
As for shearing, see the notes on bonsai. Also, ask your nursery person about pruning specifics.(See the links).
