A versatile, problem solving shrub whose long, dark green needles make it attractive for foundation or mass plantings.
Excellent for filling under tree canopies and areas shaded by tall buildings. Excellent low evergreen hedge.
Provide well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system; requires less water when established. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, prune annually to shape. Tolerant of shade, heat and drought.
