Plant description
The young ferny foliage of this handsome conifer emerges each spring with a silvery lustre, but as it matures, the colour takes on a deeper blue tone - particularly in winter. It makes a stunning focal point, and will very slowly grow to form a medium-sized tree, but if it is clipped back regularly, it can be used as hedging.
