    A low, wide-spreading tree with twisted and contorted branches, pendulous at the tip; as interesting in silhouette during winter as in form and leaf during the rest of the year. S/M

    By: Forestfarm

    This is a green contorted and twisted variety that will grow to 10-15' high. The wide spreading branches that are quite pendulous at their ends, have shinny dark green leaves. No two specimens are the same form when mature. Excellent for adding artistic interest to the landscape.
