Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A miniature flat bun shape. Needles are recurved showing the silver undersides. Name means Silver Globe.
MINIATURE. This cheery green bun is just sweet! There is a slight twist to the needles showing of a hint of the silver underneath. With growth less than 1" of growth per year do not expect this to get over 10"x15".
