Comments:
This selection of deciduous conifer originated as a witches'-broom. The plant grows as a round, mounding form with soft, pale green foliage (needles) in summer, and turning straw yellow in fall before being shed. In 10 years it should grow to 2' tall and wide. This seedling selection was selected by Randy Dykstra of Fulton, IL, in 1986. Use as a specimen or accent plant.
