Fairly thick, congested foliage gives this variety a different appearance than most of the dwarf cultivars. Eventually forming a narrow but dense pyramid with rich yellow-green color.

DWARF. A compact low grower with fine foliage that has nodding tips. In 25 years it grows to a delightfully small shrub of about 3', so you know it grows slowly. Bronze foliage in winter makes it a lovely conifer for the garden.
