    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    While keeping the lovely silvery-blue foliage color of its sibling C. t. 'Glauca', this elegant 10-15' tree/shrub spreads out to become upright and pyramidal with beautiful gracefully pendulous branches having an airy appearance rather than dense and conical; nice for a specimen or a large pot.

    Evergreen shrub to small tree from the southeastern United States, fast-growing to 8 ft tall, eventually to 15 ft or so, with spreading, pendulous branches and green-blue foliage etched white. Yum! Great accent for full sun and fertile, well-drained soil where it can receive summer water. Frost hardy to USDA zone 5 and possibly colder with good drainage and ample water.
