Spiraling dreadlocks on this unique conifer adds great texture and interest to the garden! Grows at a moderate rate (6-8" year) to about 10' tall and 8' wide, creating a broad upright mound of twisty yellow-green foliage. Thrives in rich acidic soil with decent drainage; needs regular summer moisture. Place in a spot protected from desiccating winds in sun to part shade.
