Unique for its upturned, ascending branches that resemble a miniature "forest", this plant has blue foliage and grows to 18" tall and 3' wide. It appears resistant to Juniper blight. A low, rounded, squat plant with juvenile foliage that is rich blue and crowded on the branches. Remains stable under cultivation & does not send out strong leaders like it's parent 'Meyeri'. When he saw it in Amsterdam, Dirr said "it truly shown like a silver-blue star". Rich foliage color.
