Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This and the following plant are from Pete's late uncle Teddy Kordus' New Jersey nursery. They came to us marked C. lawsonia and may well be. We have them off to our expert for ID on the species. They were clearly different from each other and clearly different than anything we've seen in the trade. 'Green Peaks' naturally develops multiple trunks giving the effect of green 'peaks'. (We originally called this 'Kordus Green Peaks' but since that nursery is no longer in business and we're introducing this to the trade, 'LSS Green Peaks' seemed a more logical name.)
