Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Every branch is different on this unique gracefully weeping and trailing conifer! If unstaked, it will crawl over rocks and walls making a wonderfully distinctive 1' tall by 12' wide creeper. It can also be staked to produce an interesting weeping mound of twisting and turning branches. S/M
A sculptural form - no two are alike! Leaders can grow in any direction forming an informal upright to a mound when the leaders have chosen to grow almost horizontally. All branches twist and turn. Note: likely the same as 'Bush's Twister' - we cannot see
Pinus banksiana 'Uncle Fogy' - A contorted weeping Jack Pine. Smaller than species with large dark green leaves. Plant grows upward with sprawling limbs in all directions. Cones wrap themselves around stem like a leech.
