Dwarf evergreen with a compact, flat-topped, globe shape. Tiny needles: new growth is very soft and lime green maturing to a rich green that holds it colour well. Slow-growing specimen plant that requires little maintenance. Excellent accent plant for borders and rock gardens. Prefers moist, well-drained soil. Fertilize in spring with a good compost or an all purpose fertilizer before new growth emerges. Requires little or no pruning: if desired, new growth can be sheared back lightly while actively growing, dead and broken branches can be removed anytime.

Available in select potted sizes.
