Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A 'Nana Gracilis' sport found by Joel Spingarn from Baldwin, Long Island, New York in 1966. Irregular patches of creamy foliage throughout this slow growing conifer. In warmer areas best to place plant where it has protection against hot afternoon sun. Though rated as growing as much as six-inches a year we have found it tends to be much slower than that.
