Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A picturesque specimen with pleasing arching branches with curtains of pendulous branchlets. Growth of 10' tall x 8' wide in 10 years. A quiet beauty.

By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

A moderately fast growing juniper with graceful weeping branches. Slightly bronze in winters, it's a luscious bright green in summer. Makes a beautiful specimen. Very free form and lovely. Thin branches and fine and while it looks soft and delicate, that doesn't speak to the nature of this Asian species because it's tough, cold tolerant, adaptable and actually has sharp tipped needles -- not soft -- and give rise to the Common Name. Cutting grown from a Spectacular Form.
