Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We found this down at Gee's labeled simply Broom; Gary can't remember where it came from but is seems distinct from all the named forms we have compared it to. It was photographed extensively during the conifer society meetings but no one offered a name, habit is of a medium sized bun with 2-4" of annual growth
