Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A conical dwarf with dense branching. Is rather irregularly shaped when young. Gray-green needles with silver-blue new growth. Nice blue and green tones, and it is a nice introduction, but it doesn't remind me of a rainbow.

DWARF. Originated at Iseli Nursery, it is a conical plant that only grows about 2" a year. This is a short needled variety that is very distinctive. One look at a picture of it and it went on my "Must Have" list.
