| Description: | Very popular due to the stiffly upright narrow habit. Narrow, densely branched pyramidal form displaying rich emerald green foliage. Holds its foliage color throughout winter. Wonderful corner plant in a sunny location. Excellent evergreen hedge or screening plant. Requires no pruning, and none should be done, other than possible topping to control height. Shearing is unnecessary and will detract from the plants appearance. |
