Long thin tendrils of new growth appear in the spring, but thicken and fill in throughout the summer on this dwarf conifer. Great choice for a small yard or rock garden. Growth Rate slow, 3-6" annually
An unusual combination of congested, tight foliage along the stems and very long, thin foliage at the tips. A very picturesque conifer.
A truly unique specimen! This narrow upright growing cutie displays a slightly contorted, columnar habit. Green foliage is produced in clumps along the central stem of the plant.
