Hardy, compact evergreen tree with short, stiff, blue-green needles bearing sharp, pointy tips. Needles are aromatic when crushed. Mature needles develop a whitish bloom with age, hence the common name. Produces cylindrical, light brown cones up to 2.5 inches long. Tolerates drought and salt. Provides shelter for songbirds and small mammals.
Note: This year we are offering plugs rather than bare-root seedlings. Rooted in soil, plugs do not require immediate planting, have less transplant shock, and have a greater survival rate than bare-root seedlings.
