Nursery contributed plant descriptions

C. DEODORA ‘PYGMEA’ - is a very dwarf (1’x1’) irregular ball. This is one of the smallest deodora cedars.

By: Gossler Farms

3-6' at maturity, this Deodar is a very slow-growing, steel-blue, congested bun with short branches and radiating needles - an excellent choice for the rock garden or trough garden. New growth is green changing to blue as the season progresses. Strangely endearing.
