Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Narrow pyramidal form that broadens with age. It has dark green foliage that is tipped yellow and which turns bronze during winter. It has a more 'lacy' look for lack of a better word. Not the most handsome at a young age but then a swan is ugly at one point in their growth.
