Growth Habit: low shrub form
USDA Zone: 5-8
Exposure: filtered to full sun

Growing Conditions: well-drained soils

Comments: As a young plant is quite compact and rounded, as it ages though it tends to open up creating a broad pyramid of light blue-green foliage. The needles are about half the size as the species and will retain their color throughout winter. A prolific cone producer. Rated as Zone 5, but has been found to grow successfully in Minnesota's harsh winter climate.
