Pinaceae (pine family)

Comments:
Misleading name--this is NOT A DWARF. Develops into a graceful, broad, conical evergreen tree with a rather open habit. Could eventually attain 70' tall in the landscape. In summer, leaves are white on the newest growth, then fade to green in autumn. Foliage is in flat sprays with short needles densely arranged along the stem.
