Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Extremely slow growing with dense, blue-gray foliage makes this one of the most desirable plants for Bonsai, garden railroads and rock gardens. Its short, thick needles are threadlike and soft to the touch. Shimpaku will make an irregular windswept "ancient" tree untrimmed to 3 feet at 10 years.
