Nursery contributed plant descriptions

At a rate of one inch a year, this is a true slow-growing conifer. Densely packed, small cupped sprays make it a great choice for the miniature garden. The large plants are 20 years old and are in 15 gallon nursery pots. The standards are about 15 years old and have 1.5 inch trunks. Very slow, very dense. Filtered to full sun in well-drained soil.

Can be grown in a tiny rock garden, a container or a trough. The deep green foliage only grows 1/4 inch per year. Seldom offered because these plants grow so slowly.
