Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This handsome species native to the Rocky and Cascade Mountains is very hardy as well as attractive, an impressive large tree (to 100'!) featuring stiff, bluish-green needles, chestnut-brown cones and scaly red-brown bark; it is typically found growing at high elevation and so is well adapted to dealing with high-winds and deep snow.
