Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another garden selection that I got from Father Steve in North bend. This is evergreen but probably had been in his garden for 75 to 100 years. My thought was that we might have a good cold Hardy selection since it would have withstood the lows of close to 0 °F in 1990. The leaves appear to be more rounded. Good medium blue.
