    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Native to the foothills of the Sierra Cascades, this handsome, drought andapted, often multi-trunked tree can reach 25 ft but often stays smaller. This one has particularly blue foliage and bark that appears reddish. Great for screening/informal hedge where your hose won't reach. Lean, well-drained soil in sun is best with heat and very little summer water. Frost hardy to -5F, mid USDA zone 6.
