Foliage color can range from bright blue to blue-green because of seed based propagation. Needs to be protected from strong winter wind.

Beautiful odd specimen tree. The young tree looks like it is made from blue pipe cleaners twisted together. Makes a great focal point for my flower bed surrounded by chartreuse sweet potatoe vines.

No problems with full Texas sun, but it is in ammended soil with sprinklers. No insects or diseases so far. Slow but steady growth, though it is keeping a very thin open habit. Also very symetrical.
