Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The long branches of this uncommon tree arch gracefully downward with their pendulous branchlets. With multiple leaders and an irregular habit this makes a wonderful and highly variable specimen. If staked this tree can reach up to 20' and if left to alone it will creep in all directions to form a gorgeous groundcover. It has beautiful bright-yellow color in autumn and is quite attractive even when leafless in winter. S-PSh/M

Unusual and beautiful, our form of this tree has exaggerated, pendulous branches reaching to the ground in a tight cascade. The soft textured needles are slightly glaucous and darker green on top. Can grow to 70' in height. Give it good moisture in a well drained and sunny location. Doesn't like shade. Not often available and highly desired by those who see our lovely specimen plant!
