A compact, upright evergreen conifer with a dense, pyramidal habit, this tree is ideal for smaller landscapes or as a specimen plant. Hardy in zones 5-7, it thrives in full sun and tolerates a wide range of well-drained soils, performing best in slightly acidic conditions. Its needles are a vibrant green, offering year-round color, and its form creates a striking silhouette in winter landscapes. This conifer is noted for its excellent resistance to deer browsing, making it a low-maintenance choice for many gardens. It can reach a mature height of approximately 6-8 feet with a spread of 3-4 feet, maintaining its compact and controlled shape as it matures. This variety does not produce showy fruit or flowers but instead captivates with its lush, textured foliage and elegant form throughout the year.
