    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Exceptionally blue foliage makes this gorgeous tree a standout in the landscape. This pyramidal and relatively fast-growing 25-40' tree has pretty, somewhat twisted, silver-blue needles in bundles of five and fawn brown 3-6" resinous cones. This fine selection of a western native conifer is a great choice for natural gardens and is just as perfect for the formal landscape. S/M

    Another catchy name for an irregular but extremely blue tree.

    This is a fast growing, pyramidal plant. It has very blue needles. On mature trees the dark gray bark begins to furrow, increasing the grandeur of the display created by this plant.
