    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Native to the mountains of Spain, this wonderful tree has stiff short needles, straight rigid branching, dense growth, and a greyish-green color. A good sturdy tree, growing to about 12' high in 10 years. Would make a nice container tree on the patio.
