    By: Kigi Nursery

    A very small clone introduced by Don Hatch and considered by many to be a hybrid with thunbergii, under any name a spectacular plant (cheesy car crown sold separately).

    DWARF. Possibly a hybrid of P. thunbergii, this P. nigra is a very compact form. Short, dense whorls of mid-green needles seem almost like daisies looking up at you. It is also a slow grower.
