Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An upright cedar with short, thin needles that look as though they are dipped in a bright, silvery-white paint.
The blue-green foliage of this large upright conifer is a lovely background for its showy creamy-white new growth and burnished-yellow winter color; an unusual and superior cultivar from Horstmanns in Germany. S-PSh/M
An upright and narrow form of Atlas Cedar has white new growth tips that turn more yellow in winter and look particularly good against the blue-green older needles. It was found and introduced by Horstmann Nursery in Schneverdingen, Germany. Fine the right narrow spot for this special plant.
