I'm about silbered and blauered out; if Jeddeloh would have had the good sense to call this 'Green Egg' I could have written a witty Dr. Seuss description, but what the hell can you do with 'Silberzwerg'. Its not funny, its not sexy, and besides I used up all my rigid dwarf stuff on the Chamaecyparis, 'Silberzwerg' is doomed to descend into oblivion, didn't Dante have a ring of hell reserved for plants with shitty names.
