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 salt. Provides shelter for songbirds and small mammals.
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.
Tree plugs, 3 yr, 10-18”
