Deep-mossy-green foliage grows in tightly congested in clusters on this interesting and irregularly-globose 3-6' shrub. This is the perfect choice for rock garden, accent or large container. The cones appear pale-green in spring before deepening to dark-brown for winter. Each specimen taking a unique form of its own this is a very handsome creature indeed. S/M/GDr
