Nursery contributed plant descriptions

MINIATURE. A weeping form that doesn't get over 6" high and grows about 6" a year. Nice for its' draping qualities. Found by Carl Starker, who was an Oregon plantsman and one of the first to collect and propagate dwarf conifers. His interest inspired many of us to enthusiastically embrace dwarf conifers as a central feature in our gardens and hearts.
