Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This intriguing little conifer is an irregular-growing broom with its pretty blue-green needles going every which way, it can't even decide how long its internodes and needles should be! This makes a wonderful accent or container piece only reaching 3-5'. Amber colored needles in fall are quite attractive too! S/M
