    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A lovely medium-sized tree like its parent, the Alaska Yellow Cedar, with graceful down-sweeping branches of blue-green sprays, but these are splashed with creamy white. S/M

    By: Forestfarm

    This striking Alaskan cedar has blue-green foliage that is interlaced with creamy white to yellow variegation. A lovely conifer with a full growth habit, this is an excellent contrast plant. Growth Rate fast, 12" annually

    By: Garden World

    Much like compacta glauca in habit with green foliage irregularly splashed in yellow, the variegation tends to winter burn so watch where you put it.

    By: Arrowhead Alpines

    Blue-green sprays are tipped with white. Branches tend to be pendulous. Becomes a stately tree.

    By: Bloom River Gardens

    Upright pyramidal form, branches droop downwards at tips, resistant to phytophthora root rot. USDA Zones 4-8.

    By: Lael's Moon Garden

    This narrow, conical tree holds many branches of finely textured, blue-green foliage. The branchlets are speckled with golden white accents at the tips. The impressive appearance of this stately tree is improved by protection from cold winds and summer heat of higher zones.
