    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    is a moderate to slow grower with a slightly cascading form. I assume it will get a couple feet tall.

    By: Gossler Farms

    'Gold Drop' has a compact globular to flat-topped habit with greenish-yellow foliage. It's a nice plant for locations where one wants a plant that is well formed and will not outgrow its location soon, however, the name is misleading - the gold influence is not strong. 'Green Drop' would be more appropriate name. Growth Rate 3-6"

    By: Garden World

    Small flat topped to slightly rounded form of Hinoke. This slow-moderate grower has yellow toned green foliage that glows in the winter, eventually reaching 5' or more.
