This is an absolutely gorgeous specimen tree! With lovely blue-green, aromatic, foliage that cascades down at the tips giving it a very soft appearance. Fast growth to 15-30' tall and 8-15' wide, this upright, narrowly pyramidal tree is a real standout for borders, hedges, as an accent, and perfect for filling in a tight space. Surprisingly pollution tolerant, so a good choice for urban gardeners. S-PSh/M/GDr
