Description

A narrow, columnar conifer with upright branches that are finely textured with tiny, deep green, scale-like foliage. Foliage is more dense and even smaller than the species. Evergreen with blue green color. Very slow growth; 8 feet high after 10 years. Great for topiaries, containers, pool areas. Very tidy in that it doesn't need pruning. It tolerates coastal conditions.
