Blue-green needles are accentuated by a cream-colored variegation that is most noticeable on new growth. The color combination lasts throughout the winter, making this plant beautiful year-round.
We have customers/friends from Wisconsin they visit a couple of times a year and always bring a cooler full of Wisconsin cheese, micro brewed beer, and root beer and cream soda for Ender, way better than Wisconsin cream which is only creamy in spring.
