This slow-growing compact evergreen selection has needles that curl, showing their shiny white lower surfaces, contrasting beautifully with dark green upper surfaces. It slowly grows into a compact tree about 20' tall and less than half as wide. Beautiful, upright, violet colored cones are produced on young plants. Reported to grow 4-6" per year. Nice used as a specimen, accent or in the shrub border producing wonderful contrasting winter color.
