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.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.

If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
