Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A compact, globose yellow/green conifer that is slow growing. This seedling was selected from a witch's broom by Sydney Waxman from the University of Connecticut.

By: Conifer Kingdom

The short, thick, bright green needles of this vibrant evergreen conifer keep their color all year long. They grow densely along stout horizontal branches that give the unusual pine a flat-topped, low-growing habit. Prominent tan buds add interest to this seedling introduction from a witch's broom selected by Sydney Waxman, University of Connecticut.
